My application is using Google OAuth2 authentication with scopes ‘email’ and ‘profile’.
My Google + profile has work and education related information specified.
I’m accessing the profile info using the following URL template:
https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me?access_token=<>
The returned JSON contains the ‘organizations’ element only if it is specified as PUBLIC info on my profile page. The information marked as Only-Me (private) is never returned. Why is that, having in mind that I’m accessing the profile info using ‘me’ as user identifier, i.e.:
https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me
Do I need additional authorization scope?
