alexa-mint-skill's Issues

Skill deployment question

Dustin,

Thank you so much for the Mint skill page! It’s super great!

I’ve a question regarding the procedure.

I followed the entire procedure and successfully applied all steps.

• Mint api is working well (I can see my account info)
• RHEL 7.2 webserver is up and running
• HTTPS (w/ SSL certificate) is working
• config.php was successfully modified
• Can https the following link: https://[websiteURL].com/alexa-mint-skill/alexa.php (getting the following output: [] -> is that expected?)

When I’m trying to test the new skill (step #24), I’m not seeing any JSON error but I’m getting the following output:

Service Request:

  }
}

Also, when asking Alexa the following questions, Alexa is unable to answer
• Alexa, ask Mint for my bank balance.
• Alexa, ask Mint for my balances.
• Alexa, ask Mint for my credit card balance.

What am I missing?

Thanks much in advance!

The remote endpoint could not be called, or the response it returned was invalid.

In last step of tutorial:
Type "Mint get my bank balance" in the simulator and confirm that no obvious errors appear in the returned JSON.

I get the error in the title. MintAPI works fine. Alexa skill files are stored under: https://<domain.com>/
i.e. I can access alexa.php on the web via https://<domain.com>/alexa.php (a "[]" is displayed) and this is the exact endpoint I have listed in the Service Simulator. Why am I getting this service response? Please Help, I am so close

Login Issues?

Looks like login doesn't work. This if my first time setting it up, but for some reason I can't get past authentication, even with the mintapi (which I do realize you didn't write). Wondering if you got around this somehow or if it's also no longer working for you.
