I am looking for an api-key granular scope to list all badges? (Not a user’s badges, or individual badge details.)

Currently it seems you can only list all badges if (a) the api-key has a global scope, or (b) you disable ‘Login Required’ and make an anonymous api request without any key.

Would it be possible if to add a badges-\>list scope or have like badges-\>show api-key scope include admin/badges#index and badges#index.

I am building an api server to coordinate discourse groups and badges with CiviCRM memberships, groups and tags for use on a closed site and would rather not be using global scope keys if possible.

Thanks for any help - not sure if this is the right spot to ask.
