Listing OAuth clients via API to audit scope assignments

Problem

I’m building a New Relic integration to monitor the health of our Genesys Cloud API consumers. As part of the onboarding check, I need to programmatically list all OAuth clients in the org and verify their assigned scopes.

Code

I’m using the Python SDK and tried the following approach:

from genesyscloud.platform_client import PlatformClient
from genesyscloud.api_client import ApiClient

platform_client = PlatformClient.create()
api_client = platform_client.get_api_client()

# Attempting to fetch clients
response = api_client.get_authorization_clients()

Error

The get_authorization_clients() method isn’t returning the full list of clients. It only returns a paginated subset, and the documentation for the /api/v2/oauth/clients endpoint is sparse on pagination parameters. I’m getting a 200 OK, but the entities array is truncated.

Question

Is there a specific cursor or page-size parameter I need to pass to get_authorization_clients() to retrieve the complete list? Or is there a different endpoint that provides a full dump of client IDs and their scope mappings? The goal is to iterate through each client and check if they have the oauth:view scope.

The current response structure looks like this:

{
 "entities": [
 {
 "id": "client-id-1",
 "name": "Web App Client"
 }
 ],
 "pageSize": 25,
 "total": 42
}

I’m stuck on how to handle the pagination loop correctly in the SDK.

Cause:
The Python SDK’s OAuthApi doesn’t actually have a list_clients method. That endpoint isn’t exposed in the standard public API surface for general org admins. You’re hitting a 404 or AttributeError because the SDK simply doesn’t generate that client. Even if it did, listing all OAuth clients with full scope details requires the oauth:client:read scope, which most integration tokens don’t possess by default.

Solution:
You need to hit the management API directly via HTTP, or use the platformClient lower-level methods if your SDK version supports dynamic endpoint resolution. Here’s the curl approach to verify the endpoint exists first:

curl -X GET "https://api.mypurecloud.com/api/v2/oauth/clients" \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <your_token>" \
 -H "Accept: application/json"

If that returns 200, you can replicate it in Python using requests since the SDK lacks the helper. Just ensure your service account has oauth:client:read. If you get a 403, the token lacks the scope. You’ll likely need to request elevated permissions from your org admin to audit these scopes programmatically.

Skip the SDK entirely and just curl the endpoint directly. It’s cleaner than wrestling with a client that might not even exist in your version.

curl -X GET "https://api.mypurecloud.com/api/v2/oauth/clients" \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
 -H "Accept: application/json"
