AccessScope
The AccessScope resource allows you to retrieve the permissions that a merchant has granted to an app, such as read_orders
and write_products
. These permissions allow apps to access data from a shop, and are granted when a merchant installs the app.
The list of access scopes retrieved is based on the access token for the request. It returns only those access scopes that are associated with the token.
Note
If your app is already installed on a shop and you'd like your app to be granted additional access scopes, then you'll need to redirect the merchant to the app install page with the additional requested scopes. After a merchant installs the updated app, any subsequent calls made to the AccessScope resource will return the updated list of granted access scopes.
