Oauth and the Alexa skills kit

To use the GENOME LINK API with Alexa, first register a new app in the GENOME LINK “My Apps” page. Make sure you’re logged into your own account and not a test user.

Give it any sensible name. In the GENOME LINK Redirect URIs field copy and paste the three Redirect URLs from the bottom of the Account Linking page in the Alexa Skills Kit Developer Console. They should look something like:

https://alexa.amazon.co.jp/api/skill/link/NUMBERSANDLETTERS
https://pitangui.amazon.com/api/skill/link/NUMBERSANDLETTERS
https://layla.amazon.com/api/skill/link/NUMBERSANDLETTERS

Create the app, and click edit on the Authorization scopes. Tick whichever traits you want to use in your app, then click save at the bottom.

Now in on the Account Linking page in the Alexa Skills Kit Developer Console enter the following details:

Authorization Grant Type: Auth Code Grant
Authorization URI: https://genomelink.io/oauth/authorize
Access Token URI: https://genomelink.io/oauth/token
Client ID: Copy and paste your Client id from the GENOME LINK app page
Client Secret: Copy and paste your Client secret from the GENOME LINK app page
Client Authentication Scheme: HTTP Basic
Scope: Add so they match GENOME LINK (e.g. report:blood-glucose)

You can now get the user’s access token in AWS Lambda using this.event.session.user.accessToken.
