POST/v2/tags/{tag_id}/resources

Tag a Resource

Resources can be tagged by sending a POST request to /v2/tags/$TAG_NAME/resources with an array of json objects containing resource_id and resource_type attributes.

Currently only tagging of Droplets, Databases, Images, Volumes, and Volume Snapshots is supported. resource_type is expected to be the string droplet, database, image, volume or volume_snapshot. resource_id is expected to be the ID of the resource as a string.

In order to tag a resource, you must have both tag:create and <resource type>:update scopes. For example, to tag a Droplet, you must have tag:create and droplet:update.

  • IdempotentThe SDK sends Idempotency-Key, so a retried request is only applied once.
