    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":

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.
