GitHub Copilot OAuth Scopes
GitHub Copilot publishes 5 OAuth 2.0 scopes via the authorizationCode flow. Scopes are the fine-grained permissions an application requests at authorization time to act against the GitHub Copilot API on a user’s behalf.
Tokens are issued from https://github.com/login/oauth/access_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.
