Built an Alexa Skill to access Taycan range / info

Following on from this Thread : https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/taycan-client-software-development.3633/page-2#post-50120

it's a long while since I had a go at coding but just knocked up this Alexa skill

It uses the API Key to retrieve the remaining range, battery % and if the car is charging or not.

Imagine what a skilled person could do

Great. What about a common github based project? As I heard {don't know where} a lot of Taycan owners do have a IT affinity, including myself. What a great skill could yield.

This is really cool.......

I haven’t coded for about 20 years, but happy to have a go, I agree with AMERCY, a github library would be really great.

Did you integrate oauth2 protocol to obain the api key/auth token automatically?

Hi @Jancha, for this testI just used the api key and bearer code so if obviously times outwhen the bearer expires.

Obviously someone could use the Oath2 protocol to keep the system permanently alive.

got it. Hoped someone already implemented that will look into the matter in a free moment. If no proper oauth is exposed, we can still login programmatically and reuse the api key/auth bearer.

The absolute smooth brain way would be to use an underlying browser and hardcode your details to log in, fetch the bearer and store it. Repeat once a day or so.

Again, absolute smooth brain operation.

Nice work. I would say lobby Porsche to sign up for Alexa Custom Assistant

What happened until now:

ako "sibling thread"
This

is the site home, where references to node.js can be found as well, which might be the "weapon of choice" for Alexa skills.
