missing_scope Error
Hi
what does this error means ? the re is no info in details, how to fix it ?
A 'missing_scope' error indicates that while the app is permitted to use that scope, the particular access token you're using to make the API call does not have that scope granted. Also, be aware that just adding a scope to your app via the App Console does not retroactively grant that scope to existing access tokens.
That being the case, to make any API calls that require that scope, you'll need to get a new access token (and refresh token, if using) with that scope. For instance, for uploading files, you'd need the 'files.content.write' scope.
Refer to the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation for more information.
