I know it's a bit of a laundry list. Everything there is required to use the Spotify API the way I needed to. Playlist read/write so it can add songs you like to the 'Liked on Radiant on Spotify', Profile to set your locale when making requests and for setting your profile picture if you have one etc etc.

I'll look at paring it back in future if I can!

It makes sense what you ask for based on what the app does! I was just wondering if it was an issue with scoping and them not providing enough granularity.

FWIW, I think you meant to say "paring it back" and not "pairing it back".

What does it request? That part was in french for me.

Basically write access to playlists and change access. I totally get why, I was just wondering if their scopes were limited.

Weird its in french. Thats all controlled by Spotify which suggests your Spotify is set to french. Might be worth checking to see if your Spotify is being accessed anywhere else...
