This is the source code for the Alexa Flash Briefing Skill for Deutsche Startups.
It's basically a Rake task that takes the latest 5 posts from the Deals and Startup Ticker sections of Deutsche-Startups.de, reformats them as JSON for the Alexa Flash Briefing Skill API and uploads the files to S3.
The Rake task is run every 10 minutes by Heroku Scheduler so the latest content is always available.
I built this after reading that the Alexa Flash Briefing Skill API is available in Germany (since March 28, 2017) because I wanted to try it out. And indeed it was super simple to implement the feed, add the skill in the Amazon Developer Services portal and get it running on my Amazon Echo.
If you like this project, consider buying me a coffee! :)
