1 year ago Thank you for asking. However this skill sample doesn't focus on calling external API. Please refer our blog posts for more information.

What I am missing so far from the basic skill examples in NodeJS is the use of an API.

How do you call an external service and process the response, especially with async/await.
Or did I just didn't see it when looking through the source?
