Yahoo Scopes¶
Most Yahoo user data is protected by scopes. A scope is a permission setting that specifies access to a Yahoo user’s non-public data. You register scopes when you create an application on YDN and select one or more API permissions.
See Setting Up: Create an Application and Get OAuth 2.0 Credentials, where we create an application and register the scope for read-access to the Yahoo Mail API.
Scope Identifiers¶
A scope identifier is simply a string that represents a scope,
such as read-access to a Yahoo API. For example, if your application has the read-access scope
to the Yahoo Mail API, your application can then pass the scope identifier
mail-r to the scope parameter when you send an authentication
request to Yahoo.
To specify more than one scope, use a space or comma to delimit the scope
identifiers. The two scope identifiers in this example can be used to
request read-access to the Yahoo Mail API and write-access to the
Contacts API: scope=mail-r sdct-w
The following sections list the scope identifiers for the available Yahoo APIs.
