APILayer OAuth Scopes

OAuth 2.0 probed

APILayer publishes 5 OAuth 2.0 scopes. Scopes are the fine-grained permissions an application requests at authorization time to act against the APILayer API on a user’s behalf.

This index is generated from the provider’s OpenAPI security definitions (and, where available, its documented scope reference) and refreshes on every APIs.io network build. Browse every provider’s scopes at scopes.apis.io.

  APILayer publishes no scopes reference page. This list is read verbatim from the OAuth
  authorization server metadata and the MCP protected-resource descriptor, which are the only
  places APILayer states its scopes. Scopes apply ONLY to the hosted MCP server; the REST
  product APIs use an unscoped account-wide access_key.

  The scope list is the strongest available evidence of how much of the marketplace the MCP
  server actually fronts. Exactly ONE product scope exists - api:ipstack - against a catalog of
  22 published OpenAPI documents. The MCP surface is an IPstack pilot, not a marketplace-wide
  agent door.
