Tagging APIs
The cis tagging component provides operations and structures to attach metadata, by means of tags, to vSphere objects to make these objects more sortable and searchable. You can use it to create, manage, and enumerate tags and their categories (the group a tag belongs to). You can also query the attached tags and attached objects.
The Batch service provides operations to query category, tag, and tag association information in batch. All operations return successfully. Error or insufficient privilege on an individual object will not result in a thrown exception, instead it will just be skipped. Note: This service is restricted for VMware internal use only.
The Category service provides operations to create, read, update, delete, and enumerate categories.
The Tag service provides operations to create, read, update, delete, and enumerate tags.
The TagAssociation service provides operations to attach, detach, and query tags.
The VM service provides operations to list categories that have virtual machines as an attachable type. Warning: This service is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented. Note: This service is restricted for VMware internal use only.
The Host service provides operations to list categories that have hosts as an attachable type. Warning: This service is part of a new feature in development. It may be changed at any time and may not have all supported functionality implemented. Note: This service is restricted for VMware internal use only.
