Retrieve custom tags from post

Hi All,

I would like to be able to access the custom tags for a forum message by message id. 

I have been trying to access with the meta api call, but not sure how to get the correct key to retrieve the information. 


https://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/Developer-Documentation/bd-p/dev-doc-portal?section=commv1&leaf-id=Message.metadata#Message.metadata.key.key

My current api call is 

restadmin("/messages/id/${page.context.message.id}/metadata/key/modbar")


However, I am unsure of what needs to be on the end of modbar. Does anyone have any idea?

    You can use below API to fetch list of all metadata keys of custom tags from a message. Change message id "1271" with your respective post messages id in code.

    http://community.lithium.com/community-name/restapi/vc/messages/id/1271/metadata/entries

    After getting all the keys you can pass this to API V1 or V2 to get all the information regarding message or custom tags

    For V1 you need to call below API to fetch cutom tag from the message, this will returns value for key "modbar.claim":

     

    https://community.lithium.com/restapi/vc/messages/id/4140/metadata/key/modbar.claim

     

    You can use also use V2 to get custom tag key value using below query:

     

    SELECT id FROM messages WHERE custom_tags.text = 'customTagKey'

     

    For more information you can also view this article for how to get cutomTag key name and path for edit tags.

      Thanks Parshant. I was hoping to be able to get a whole list of custom tags applied to a post, without knowing what they are. 

      Reading the article it seems you need the key before you can query custom tags.
