API Scopes

Caption.Ed applications carry permissions that describe the access level for user-level authentication. App permissions are configured per application.

The following scopes can be requested when authorising your application:

Scope Name	Description
write_transcriptions	Allows access to create and retrieve the details of transcriptions. Allows subscriptions to be setup for the following events: transcription.created transcription.transcribed
write_media	Allows access to create and retrieve the details of a media object

If scopes on an application are changed, any access tokens already issued will not automatically have new scopes applied.

A good practice is to request only the minimum level of access that your application requires.
