Available Scopes

Scopes are passed when requesting access token - they define what information can be requested from the API or what actions performed.

Offline scopes

Most of the scopes can be suffixed with _offline (for example, balance_offline instead of balance). If such scope is confirmed by the user, client can get information about the user with default authentication credentials - use of access token is not needed.

This allows to get user's ID and other identifiers with access token and then anywhere in the future request information using default credentials and these identifiers. In other words, scope gets permanently available even when not using access token.

Offline scopes are available only when using authorization code grant.

Offline scopes can be revoked by the user in Paysera system, so even if such scope is granted, client should always expect to get forbidden error when accessing user's information in the future.

Optional scopes

Some of the scopes can be suffixed with _optional, for example phone_offline_optional. In most cases you want optional scope also to be offline scope, although simple scope may also be optional. If scope is both offline and optional, _offline suffix must be followed by _optional, for example: phone_offline_optional.

Optional scopes allow to access user information without forcing her to immediately take action to confirm or reject corresponding permissions. Information can be accessed only after the user takes specific actions in Paysera system to meet conditions required by specific scope. Until then the error not_found is received. Or in case of user resource, corresponding parameters are missing.

Extended scopes

Extended scopes give permissions to make higher risk actions for the client and thus requires special authorization from the user. These scopes cannot be provided when requesting access token, but can be attached to access token when requesting token refresh, providing code parameter. code value is code from SMS message, sent to the user.
