Wikidata OAuth Scopes

OAuth 2.0 derived

Wikidata publishes 2 OAuth 2.0 scopes via the authorizationCode flow. Scopes are the fine-grained permissions an application requests at authorization time to act against the Wikidata API on a user’s behalf.

Tokens are issued from https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special: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.
