Create a tag
const url = 'https://api.getsitecontrol.com/v1/sites/1/tags';const options = { method: 'POST', headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer <token>', 'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, body: '{"name":"example"}'};
try { const response = await fetch(url, options); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data);} catch (error) { console.error(error);}curl --request POST \ --url https://api.getsitecontrol.com/v1/sites/1/tags \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "name": "example" }'Creates a tag, or returns the existing one with the same name compared
without case: 201 for a new tag, 200 with the stored spelling for an existing
one. Two concurrent requests may both get 201 with the same id; there is
still one tag. To put a tag on a contact, pass its name in add_tags of
upsert_contact, upsert_contacts or update_contacts, which also create
the tag when it is missing.

Section titled “Path Parameters”Header Parameters
Section titled “Header Parameters”Makes a retry of a POST safe: a repeat with the same key, body and GSC-Version returns the stored response with Idempotency-Replayed: true instead of running again. The key protects against repeated execution while the key store works. Saving the change and storing the response under the key are not atomic: if the process or the key store fails between them, the change is kept, the key is released after 15 minutes and a retry runs the request again. After a timeout or a 5xx, read the resource to check the result before retrying. 5xx and 429 responses and responses over 256 KB are not stored, so a repeat runs the request again. A key is kept for 24 hours. The same key with another body or version is 422; a repeat while the first request runs is 409.
