don't know whether i am too dumb to understand apl syntax or the documentation is just shitty. where should the damn data payload go?

Isn't Alexa just using a rest service?
If so, wouldn't you just shove your json In the body?

@C0D4 think so. but i just don't get the hierarchy/structure and on which nesting to put the list data.

['response']['directives'][0]['document']?

['response']['directives']?

top level? somewhere entirely else?

the authoring tool displays the data separated and does not show up within the apl object. search results just point to tutorials not clearing that up either. meh.
