The REST Admin API is a legacy API as of October 1, 2024. All apps and integrations should be built with the GraphQL Admin API. For details and migration steps, visit our migration guide.
The AccessScope resource allows you to retrieve the permissions that a merchant has granted to an app, such as read_orders and write_products. These permissions allow apps to access data from a shop, and are granted when a merchant installs the app or updates an existing installation of the app.
The list of access scopes retrieved is based on the access token for the request. It returns only those access scopes that are associated with the token.
For more information about access scopes, see the access scopes API reference.
Note
If your app is already installed on a shop and you want the merchant to grant additional access scopes, you need to redirect the merchant to the app install page with the additional requested scopes. After a merchant installs the updated app, any subsequent calls made to the AccessScope resource will return the updated list of granted access scopes.
