How to Choose the Right Access Token Scopes
I’m still uncertain about how to choose the right access token scopes. From what I gathered in the documentation, it seems we can list multiple scopes by passing them as a space-delimited string to the ‘authorization code’ endpoint. Is there a comprehensive list of all available scopes?
Initially, I thought there were just a few options, like exports, core_data, and offline_access (as shown in the first screenshot). However, I’ve noticed other scopes, such as email and profile, are also available (as seen in the second screenshot).

Also, the scope is not required as a parameter. What privileges does a token have if no scope is passed? From what I’ve observed, it seems I can still use the Invoice and Export endpoints without specifying any scope.
I'd be thankful for some clarification. 🙏
