Google Search Console OAuth Scopes

OAuth 2.0 searched

Google Search Console 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 Google Search Console API on a user’s behalf.

Tokens are issued from https://oauth2.googleapis.com/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.

notes:
- >-
  Three scopes across two hosts. webmasters and webmasters.readonly cover searchconsole.googleapis.com;
  indexing is a separate scope for indexing.googleapis.com and is not interchangeable with them.
- >-
  urlTestingTools.mobileFriendlyTest.run declares NO scope in the Discovery document — the only
  operation on this surface that does not require one.
- >-
  Scope alone is not access. Search Console authorizes per verified property: the token must belong
  to an account that owns or is delegated on the property, and for the Indexing API the service
  account must be added as an Owner inside Search Console.
