Allow fetching guild channels and webhooks with oauth access_token

[tsickert]

Goal

Allow applications to fetch channel and webhook information for a guild with just an access_token from the oauth access token response.

Background

I'm developing an application that allows users to more easily leverage webhooks in their servers to send messages (think: a glorified form with avatar url, name, and content 😅 ).

The experience I'm imaginging is:

1. User "Logs in with Discord" and lands on "Send Webhook" page
2. User selects guild from drop down (populated by /users/@me/guilds) (Can do today ✅ )
3. User sees drop down for channels (/guilds/{guild.id}/channels) (fetch for webhooks has also happened (/guilds/{guild.id}/webhooks))
   • If user selects channel with no webhook, application can make the webhook on their behalf (or go through the webhook.incoming flow)
   • If user selects channel with webhook, then nothing else needs to happen
4. User configures webhook fields and executes webhook

Request

Would it be possible to add a guilds.webhooks + guilds.channels scopes that allow an application to fetch those lists without having a bot in the guild (or roll those permissions into the guilds scope?).

Thanks in advance for your consideration!

What kind of access token? OAuth token? Webhook token? Bot token?

Good question. Specifically the access_token provided in the oauth access token response. Updated the title and question to make that more clear.
