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?

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.
