AWS Alexa Music Man skill

This Java based AWS Alexa SDK Skill is an Amazon Alexa which incorporates DynamoDB, SNS, and external API data to provide a highly dynamic customer experience for obtaining Artist and Venue calendar information. This skill also makes use of Amazon's APL (Alexa Presentation Language) to provide a better visual output when invoked from display based consumer devices (e.g. Echo Show, Spot, and Smart TVs)

  • AWS DynamoDB is used to house a lookup table, which the code uses to bounce up captured voice input (artist and venue values) and swap them out for corrected values.
  • AWS SNS is used to post to a pre-configured topic, setup to deliver a message to an email subscriber. For this skill, the purpose for this is to send customer invocations that failed, so they can be researched and corrected.
  • Songkick API is an external API service for getting Artist and Venue event information. This code calls the API using the input captured from the user, to try to find matching events for artists or venues.
