When I make a request to the API with a bad token, I get a meta response like this:
"meta": {
"code": 401,
"error_id": "d7099806b6f1421980a6f44088f2b38c$b6ce313414de7e9de45deb4ba34c56a1",
"error_message": "Call requires authentication: User has not authorized this client or has revoked access.",
"error_slug": "not-authorized"
}
By checking the error_slug, I can automatically respond to the error by prompting the user to reauthorize.
When I try to call an API method for which I don't have the required scope, I receive the following meta response:
"meta": {
"code": 403,
"error_id": "dc677e02201c449ebf88d01fdf99cccf$a51ffdf14f5b267f333a829f92bf09d8",
"error_message": "Forbidden: You need the following scopes: follow"
}
I would like to detect which scope is missing and automatically prompt the user to authorize with that scope. I can do this currently by parsing the error_message, but I'd like a more reliable way to recognize this error and determine which scopes I need. Something like:
