Retrieving the Tag ID through REST

Hi guys,   I appear to be in bit of a bind. Currently I'm modifying the Tag View Page to use a customized thread list appearance but I need to create 'View All' link for sections 'Recently Tagged' ...

    To get the ID of a tag via the REST API given the tag text, you can use the following call:

    /restapi/vc/tagging/tags/text/tagname

    For example:

    http://lithosphere.lithium.com/restapi/vc/tagging/tags/text/rest%20api

     

    In the response, you'll see an "id" element, which tells you the ID of the tag. For example:

    <response status="success">
  <tag type="tag" href="/tagging/tags/id/720">
    <id type="int">720</id>
    <text type="string">rest api</text>
  </tag>
</response>
