Make HTTP / HTTPS GET Requests in an Alexa Skill in 16 minutes

Add a GET request to your Alexa Skill! I'll show you how to do an http request and an https request using two different API's (Wikipedia and New York Times). We'll also add parameters to these calls (as the New York Times requires an API key). If you have never made an Alexa Skill before check out this video (https://youtu.be/d12DhlFVERc).
