I am trying to create a program that deletes songs from a playlist thot are older than a week with python. But I need to use a scope for this. Where do i ask for this scope?

You are probably going to want to include

scopes to your authorization request so that you can access these scopes to remove songs from public and private playlists.

You can find more information here: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/scopes/

Yes, I read the article, but I coudn't find where to add the scope by the token data or anywhere else.

So when you first make your authorization request to: https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize

You have the optional query parameter 'Scope' in which you can define a list of scopes you want your application to access

Scope:
A space-separated list of scopes.If no scopes are specified, authorization will be granted only to access publicly available information: that is, only information normally visible in the Spotify desktop, web, and mobile players.

how can I check if I have the necessary scopes?

The necessary scopes are listed at almost the top of each endpoint reference page.

To clarify, if I were following the documentation's node.js example would it look something like the following?

scope: 'user-read-private playlist-read-private playlist-read-collaborative user-top-read user-read-recently-played',
