    "UserId": <number:D2LID>,
    "CreatedDate": <string:UTCDateTime>|null,

  • 2.4-Obsolete as of LMS v10.7.0.

Note

This action will not remove any tags from the object: it looks through your list and adds any new tags from your list to the object, leaving its existing list intact.

POST /d2l/api/eP/(version)/object/(objectId)/tags/remove

Remove one or more tags from an EP object.

Parameters:
  • version (D2LID) – API version.

  • objectId (D2LID) – EP object ID.

JSON Parameters:
  • TagObjects (JSON array of EP.TagObject) – Tags to remove from the EP object’s tag list.

POST /d2l/api/eP/(version)/objects/tags/add

Add one or more tags to a set of EP objects.

Parameters:
  • version (D2LID) – API version.

Query Parameters:
  • objects (CSV) – List of EP object IDs.

JSON Parameters:

Status Codes:
API Versions:
  • 2.5+ – Route first appears in LMS v10.4.0.

  • 2.4-Obsolete as of LMS v10.7.0.

Note

This action will not remove any tags from any of the objects, nor does it let you apply different sets of tags to different objects from the list. Effectively, this action behaves the same way as making a series of calls to the add action on a single object ID.

Note also that this action reports success as long as it succeeds to act upon one of the EP objects from your provided list.

POST /d2l/api/eP/(version)/objects/tags/remove

Remove one or more tags from a set of EP objects.

Parameters:
  • version (D2LID) – API version.

Query Parameters:

JSON Parameters:
  • TagObjects (JSON array of EP.TagObject) – Tags to remove from the EP objects’ tag lists.

Status Codes:
API Versions:
  • 2.5+ – Route first appears in LMS v10.4.0.

Note

This action behaves the same way as making a series of calls to the remove action on a single object ID.

Note also that this action reports success as long as it succeeds to act upon one of the EP objects from your provided list.

POST /d2l/api/eP/(version)/tags/autocomplete

Find a list of tags that match a tag template you provide.

Parameters:

JSON Parameters:
Status Codes:
API Versions:
  • 2.5+ – Route first appears in LMS v10.4.0.

Return. This action returns a JSON array of known TagObject data blocks that all have your tag template’s Text property as a matching prefix for their Text properties.

Note

This action uses the Text property in your template as a prefix string to match against known tag values.

If you set the Type property to 1 (Private), this action looks for matches in the list of known private-type tags (if you have permission to do so).
