What scope should I choose to define a token authorized to use the 'Team Public REST API'?"

When I use the Team Public REST API with a token that has no scope to list a team's members, it works.

I'd like to do the same with a "token with scope", but I can't find a granular or classic scope to do that.

I looked at the token creation in the security menu on my profile and tried to create an app on the developer console, but there was no scope like "read:team:teams".

Thanks for your help.

Hi @jvigeant 

Welcome to the community.

If the API endpoint has no granular scopes defined, this means that a scoped API token can't be used.

A normal API token will need to be used.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

My goal is to use a service account that lets me specify a read-only scope for my API automation. One of my initial requirements is to list team members so I can tag them.

I will use my own token for the first time. I hope that in the future we'll be able to either directly mention a team in automation or define a scope for the team in a token definition.
