Tagging a post using REST APIs

Is there any possible rest api call to add a tag to a particular post and also rest api call to retrieve tags given to a particular post.   Thanks in advance.

    Yes it is possible.

    Used the following rest api call

     

    http://<community>/restapi/vc/messages/id/7/edit?message.subject=subj&tag.add=rest

     

    Unfortunately, its i not possible to add the tag alone. It seems we need to change the subject as well even though it is mentioned as optional field in the rest api doc.

    Hi deepak,

     

    You should be able to add a tag without editing the message. You can obtain a MessageTaggingContext object for a message, which has a method tags/add which can be used to add a tag. For example:

     

    /restapi/vc/messages/id/7/tagging/tags/add?tag.add=rest

     

    I'd suggest giving that a try, and let us know if that doesn't work for you.

     

    Regards,
