We need to audit our OAuth client configurations to ensure no clients have excessive permissions. I wrote a Python script using the genesys-cloud-python SDK to list all clients and check their scope assignments. The goal is to flag any client with the admin:oauth:client:write scope that isn’t in our approved list.
The script fetches the client list using oauth_api.list_oauth_clients(). However, the response payload seems truncated. When I iterate through the returned clients, the scopes field is often empty or missing, even though I can see the scopes in the Genesys Cloud UI for those same clients.
Here is the relevant snippet:
from genesyscloud import oauth_api
from genesyscloud.oauth.model import OAuthClient
api_instance = oauth_api.OAuthApi(api_client)
try:
# Fetch all clients
result = api_instance.list_oauth_clients(page_size=250)
for client in result.entities:
print(f"Client: {client.name}, ID: {client.id}")
# Scopes are often None here
if client.scopes:
print(f" Scopes: {client.scopes}")
else:
print(f" WARNING: No scopes returned for {client.name}")
except Exception as e:
print("Error: %s\n" % e)
I also tried making a direct REST call to GET /api/v2/oauth/clients with the same result. The entities array returns correctly, but the scopes attribute is null for most entries. The API documentation for OAuthClient shows scopes as a list of strings, but it’s not populated in the batch list response.
Is there a specific query parameter to expand the scope details? Or do I need to make an individual GET /api/v2/oauth/clients/{clientId} call for every client to get the actual scope data? That would be inefficient for an org with hundreds of clients.
I checked the response headers and the x-request-id but didn’t find anything useful in the logs. The auth token has admin:oauth:client:read scope.
Any ideas on why the list endpoint doesn’t include scopes?
