How to Manage Tags

[ginjaninja 573]

i would like to get the tags for an id and post (add/remove) tags for an id. (testing on 4.8.0.21)

what endpoints/fields should i use please?

/metadataeditor returns not much useful, authenticated with apikey, i presume tags are system specific not user specific?

Hi fella, unfortunately i use the C# interfaces.  but they are item specific and not user specific.

let me see if i have any endpoints 

 

This works

http://localhost:8096/emby/Items?Fields=Tags&Ids=12000&api_key={AuthToken}

 

returns

  "Items": [
    {
      "Name": "Avengers: Infinity War",
      "ServerId": "f7aa59c6fe9448d0a15d7dfb977ba6c6",

Is it also possible to add tags via API or just to list them?

I'm sorry, but I have to hijack this post.

I want to work with tags on boxsets and added some tags in the web interface.
I've added the 'Tags' to the request, but my output looks like this, with always empty TagItems:

{'Items': [{'Name': '- Academy Awards: Best Actress -', 'ServerId': '37de8e11ee0748bea8d2080a13984949', 'Id': '1763467', 'IsFolder': True, 'Type': 'BoxSet', 'TagItems': [], 'ImageTags': {'Primary': '79d37961cb2311c4dcda0abf906fdd78'}, 'BackdropImageTags': []}], 'TotalRecordCount': 1}

Am I missing somthing? Do I need to be on 4.9.0.0?

What exactly have you done?

Nothing special. I was using the Swagger API on collections and only got empty TagItem lists.

working for me with fields=tags (on 4.9)...tags definitely present?

Using it how?

[Killface69 70]

I was using a Python script and the API.

I‘ve sent a request to the API for a collection item, but the TagItems appeared empty, as posted.

I might try again later at a later time, thank you.

Did you do what ginjaninja suggested?

[Killface69 70]

I must have missed someting before, working now as intended.

Thank you!
