Alexa Skill and Account linking

[Kandarp Jani]

Hello,

I am trying to setup Alexa Skill with our Parse App (puppod). The first step is to setup account linking. Is there an example or sample that can you point us to help me get started?

How Account Linking Works

To connect an Alexa user with an account in your system, you need to provide an access token that uniquely identifies the user within your system. The Alexa service stores this token and includes it in requests sent to your skill's service. Your skill can then use the token to authenticate with your system on behalf of the user.

Using account linking in the Alexa Skills Kit assumes some familiarity with the OAuth 2.0 authorization framework. Two OAuth authorization grant types are supported:

• Authorization code grant (for both custom skills and smart home skills)
• Implicit grant (for custom skills only)

The primary difference between these two types is in how the access token is obtained from your system. From the end user's perspective, there is no difference

Thanks,
Kandarp
