Canonical OAuth Scopes

OAuth 2.0 derived

Canonical publishes 3 OAuth 2.0 scopes via the authorizationCode flow. Scopes are the fine-grained permissions an application requests at authorization time to act against the Canonical API on a user’s behalf.

Tokens are issued from https://example.com/oauth/token.

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.

note: The only OAuth2 surface in the Canonical portfolio is the Identity Platform API, which is software
  a customer deploys rather than a Canonical-hosted service; its spec declares the standard OIDC scopes
  against https://example.com placeholder endpoints. The Snap Store and Charmhub use macaroons and Launchpad
  uses OAuth 1.0a — neither has a scope reference to search for. No scopes documentation page exists to
  upgrade this file with; method stays derived.
