1. Prerequisites
If you're using Apache HTTP Server, use v2.4.10 or later! From Amazon's Docs:
Note: if you are using Apache HTTP Server to host your web service, use version 2.4.10 or later. Earlier versions of Apache HTTP Server send an "unrecognized name" warning if the server is not configured with a ServerName or ServerAlias in the configuration files. This prevents the Alexa service from sending the customer's request to your server. To address this, either upgrade to 2.4.10 or later, or add ServerName / ServerAlias to your server's configuration file.
2. Getting Started
You can use pip to install this app:
pip install django2-alexa
In your django settings.py add "django2_alexa"
to INSTALLED_APPS
:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django2_alexa',
...
]
In your current path create a django app with:
python manage.py startapp YourAppName
Import & create the Skill
object in your views.py:
from django2_alexa.interfaces.alexa import Skill
skill = Skill()
Import the skill
in your urls.py and add the view to your urlpatterns:
from YourAppName.views import skill
urlpatterns = [
...
path('', skill.view)
...
]
You can use this library with DEBUG
mode on in settings.py. The amazon server verification for timestamps however will be skipped. This will cause amazon to not accept your skill if you try to publish your skill in DEBUG
mode.
Now you are ready to develope your own skill for alexa! You can find a few examples here.
3. Settings
This django app adds some settings to your project:
Name | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
ALEXA_VERIFY_CONN |
bool |
True |
This setting specifies if every request to an alexa skill should be verified against the amazon servers. This is useful when testing your skill without Amazon's service. |
