Sharepoint App Only permissions copied to subsites

I have full control of a site in my companies Sharepoint online tenant. I do NOT have Site collection or Tenant admin. rights.

I am able to create a app only service principal with full rights to the site I control, with web scope.

I need to extend those rights to all subsites of my site.

Is there code that will allow me to do that without manually adding the service principal to each sub-site?

    Hi @David Croome/CAN ,

    As @Trevor Seward 's suggestion, please use http://sharepoint/content/sitecollection permission level, this will include all the sub site under the sitecollection which SharePoint add-in hosted.
