Where can I find a list of scopes for Google's OAuth 2.0 API?

Question

The example I'm working with specifies the scope in the OAuth request as: scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fuserinfo.email+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fuserinfo.profile

which decodes into two URIs:

I cannot find documentation covering the complete list of scopes that are available and what information is accessible within each scope - does anyone know if such a thing exists?

the scopes in the user's questions are deprecated, the new scopes are simply profile and email — Tony BenBrahim, Sep 30 '15 at 05:15

What you are looking for is the Google APIs Discovery Service.

A few other interesting resources:

An excellent blog by Nicolas Garnier which describes the important things behind this service.
The Google OAuth2 playground, is another good source of info.
Finally if you're interested in tracking changes to the discovery documents or don't want to read all the docs, there is an interesting online implementation by Gerwin Sturm.

Thanks for this information, +1. I would also really appreciate it if you could take a look at an unanswered question I have: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36289389/what-is-google-api-discovery – Sabuncu Mar 31 '16 at 18:38

Thanks to Antonio Sacco's links, I was able to find:

https://www.googleapis.com/discovery/v1/apis/oauth2/v2/rest?fields=auth(oauth2(scopes))

It says these are the scopes available:

 - https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me (Know who you are on Google)
 - https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email (View your email address)
 - https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile (View basic information about your account)

Here is a doc that was added recently to Google's OAuth 2.0 documentation, with a comprehensive list of scopes:

Thanks. This is the best answer for question. It is exactly what I was looking for (list of scopes grouped by API library). I used scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly and logically in console I enabled API called in library "Google Analytics Reporting API" but I was not able to get data from API. I had to enable API called "Analytics API". In your link I am wondered that both APIs contains analytics.readonly scope (it is misleading). I latter noticed that although scope is identical I must use correct endpoint to fetch data https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/ – mikep Feb 01 '19 at 09:20

Google's oauth docs display a table that lists all of the available scopes.

A little late, maybe, but this from the docs:

For information about available login scopes, see Login scopes. To see the available scopes for all Google APIs, visit the APIs Explorer.

Urls for those who don't like clicking on links:

I was looking for the same thing like forever and I found this really awesome tool oAuth 2.0 Playground developed by Google where you can find all scopes in various apis they provide.

Link and Chrome extension they recommend using:
