Alexa Cricket Score

A Simple Static Site With WebSocket for Getting Real-time Live Cricket Score Updates.

Get live Cricket Score Update by reloading the web page using Websocket and Alexa.

Usage and Concept

• Cricket API: https://github.com/sanwebinfo/cricket-api
• Express JS for API and WebSocket Connection
• EJS Template Engine
• Use WebSocket to trigger the static page Refresh in real time
• Using Tasker and Alexa to trigger a WebSocket server to send a message to the client
• Token-based API - JWT token and Custom Header Key-based Authorization
• Create JWT Token for Authorize to Pass messages to the Clients (it will be expired in 5mins - Due to security reasons using short-lived JWT tokens)

curl --request GET   --url http://localhost:6007/api/token   --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

## Use this at API Clients (it only accept the Request if the message contain 'reload')

curl --request POST   --url http://localhost:6007/api/message   --header 'authorization: YOUR_JWT_TOKEN_HERE'   --header 'content-type: application/json'   --data '{"message": "reload"}'

• Alexa Voice command API

## It supports and accepts any voice commmand message with 500 Text limit
## If you passing the voice command 'reload' then it will reload the score data
## Rest voice commanding words will display as alert on the client page

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H 'authorization: YOUR_JWT_TOKEN_HERE' -d '{"alexamessage": "HI from Alexa"}' http://localhost:6007/api/alexa
