I'm attempting the verification process for an Apps Script web app that uses the URL Fetch service via class URLFetchApp. Per URLFetchApp documentation, this requires the scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.external_request. I can't find any Google documentation for this scope, and it doesn't appear on this list of OAuth2 scopes. I'm having a hard time demonstrating how my app uses the data provided by the scope when I don't actually know what user data the scope provides. I mean, I don't think I'm using any user data... I'm just calling API executable functions from another Google Apps Script project.
What user data is this scope giving me access to? Or do I just need to explain why/how I'm using URLFetchApp?
If you head over the editor dashboard of your script, you will see further information about this scope stating :
Connect to an external service under project OAuth scopes.
Moreover, when you run your script for the first time, the permissions it is asking for are:
Create a network connection to any external service (e.g., to read or write data)
Therefore, despite not having much more description in the documentation (just in UrlFetchApp), I don't think you are using any user data apart from getting the user to use your script and connect to an external service.
