Hi Florian,

The scopes should be in the readme, but looking at the https://github.com/MarkEdmondson1234/autoGoogleAPI/tree/master/googleqpxExpressv1.auto in particular I don't see one added. Hmm.

For comparison, the Google Books has its listed: https://github.com/MarkEdmondson1234/autoGoogleAPI/tree/master/googlebooksv1.auto

You can look at the Discovery API result yourself by using

api_meta <- googleAuthR::gar_discovery_api("qpxExpress", "v1")

I use listviewer::jsonedit(api_meta) to examine the response.

In this case the auth field is empty. Bad Google :D Or at least, its not supplied anywhere in the documentation either, perhaps because its public data? We'd have to move to asking their support on why scopes aren't included.

I hadn't thought this would be a case so I'm not sure the googleAuthR calls will work without a scope, but let me know. Perhaps you can just fill in a placeholder.

The API explorer is a good place to check, it specifies no scopes needed when I just had a look:
