XF 2.2 Threads tags via API

[Dashti]

Hi,

I use POST /thread endpoint to create a new thread. However I cannot add tags with this call. Can someone explain how to add tags to a thread?

ex:

POST {{baseUrl}}threads
    ?node_id=2
    &tags=inv
    &title=title
    &message=message
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
XF-Api-Key: {{apiKey}}
XF-Api-User: {{userId}}

The tags parameter has to be passed as an array.

Input	Type	Description
node_id	integer	ID of the forum to create the thread in.
title	string	Title of the thread.
message	string	Body of the first post in the thread.
discussion_type	string	The type of thread to create. Specific types may require additional input.
prefix_id	integer	ID of the prefix to apply to the thread. If not valid in the selected forum, will be ignored.
tags	string[]	Array of tag names to apply to the thread.
custom_fields[<name>]	string	Value to apply to the custom field with the specified name.
discussion_open	bool
sticky	bool
attachment_key	string	API attachment key to upload files. Attachment key context type must be post with context[node_id] set to the ID of the forum this is being posted in.

Thank you for your response,

I tried difference approaches like:

• &tags=[val1,val2]
• &tags=val1,val2
• &tags=val1&tags=val2

however none of them works.
Do you have an example?

If you are building a URL manually I think you have to send it into the request already encoded. This format is correct: &tags=val1&tags=val2 and encoded it looks something crazy like:

tags%5B0%5D=val1&tags%5B1%5D=val2
