Skill Certification and Publication

  • [v1][skill-certification]
  • v0
  • [Changelog for v0 to v1][smapi-migration#changelogv1]

 

Use the following API operations in the Skill Management API (SMAPI) to manage the certification and publication of an Alexa skill. You can decide to separate the certification and publication operations, or you can do both in a single combined operation. If you separate the operations, you can control the release date of your skill in the Alexa Skill Store.

The SMAPI endpoint is https://api.amazonalexa.com. Each API request must have an Authorization header whose value is the access token retrieved from Login with Amazon.

Hide or remove a live skill

Use this operation to unpublish (hide or remove) a published skill.

When you unpublish a skill, you choose whether to hide or remove the skill.

After you receive a response indicating that the operation succeeded, it might take a few days before the unpublishing is complete.

When a skill is hidden or removed, its stage value continues to be live. Thus, the live stage refers to skills that are currently available publicly in production, to hidden skills, and to removed skills.

To republish a skill after you unpublish it, you must resubmit the skill for certification.
