Hi,

I’m setting up a Web API client and after successfully completing the OAuth flow, I’m getting the following error from the API:

{“error”:“Missing scope: resource.homey.xxxxxxxxxxx”,“error\_description”:“Missing scope: resource.homey.xxxxxxxxxxx”,“stack”:“Error: Missing scope: resource.homey.xxxxxxxxxxx\n at ManagerUsersLocal.login (file:///app/packages/homey-core/lib/ManagerUsers.mjs:”}

It looks like the `resource.homey` scope is required, but it doesn’t appear to be selectable anywhere in the OAuth configuration at [https://tools.developer.homey.app/api/clients](https://tools.developer.homey.app/api/clients)

 ![Scherm­afbeelding 2026-04-15 om 16.45.55](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/9/9903a17e201c61dbcc12b3cf38287c18bd9c7109.png)

What’s the correct way to request this ‘resource’ scope?

Thanks,  
Jeroen
