What is the proper method for multiple topic ids, category ids, etc. in a granular API key? Is it comma delimited, or something else?

I configured a granular scope for editing posts.  
IDs separated with comma works 👍. Semicolons appear not to work.

I suppose it works the same with categories and other data types.

I just noticed it’s written on the page, but I too didn’t see it:

> When using scopes, you can restrict an API key to a specific set of endpoints. You can also define which parameters will be allowed. Use commas to separate multiple values.

It’s not very prominent, but I guess we should just pay attention more? 🤷

Ah, it was not written on their official API specs when I searched for scope.
