+# API Starter - Alexa Skill Template
+
+This is an Alexa skill template that provides a simple example of a skill that shows how to call an external API. The API that is used is the [api.open-notify.org API](http://api.open-notify.org/astros.json) which returns a JSON response containing a list of the astronauts currently in space.
+
+### Try it out
+To try an example of this skill template, you can enable the [Ground Control Alexa skill](https://www.amazon.com/Dabble-Lab-Ground-Control/dp/B075CWGY1P/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514557483&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=grond+control+alexa+skill). Just say: `Alexa, enable Ground Control` and then `Alexa, open Ground Control`.
+
+### Using this template
+
+This template was designed to be used with the [Alexa Skills Kit Command-Line Interface](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/smapi/ask-cli-intro.html) (aka: ASK-CLI). After installing the ASK-CLI you can run the following command to setup a new skill project based on this template.
+
+`$ ask new --template --url http://skilltemplates.com/templates.json`
+
+After running the previous command you'll see of list of templates to choose from. Pick the template named `API Starter`. This will create a new folder named `./api-starter/` all of the code for the template will be located in that folder.
