Tags usage

“Tag” is a label for convenient and fast search of the desired information. In our system tags help you find desired places, geofences, employees, tasks, trackers, and vehicles. You can create custom tags according to your needs. One object may have several tags. Tags are entities that could be assigned with objects.

Case

I need to get easier searching by objects. For example, we have several places that are served by a certain team of employees, who in turn can only use the specified vehicles. We also want to easily find the tasks that we set for these teams. To do this, we will assign a specific tag to all these objects.

Creation

The first step is to create this tag. Let's name it "team1".

API request:

curl -X POST 'https://api.navixy.com/v2/tag/create' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{"hash": "22eac1c27af4be7b9d04da2ce1af111b", "tag": {"name": "team1", "color": "#00BFFF"}}'

https://api.navixy.com/v2/tag/create?hash=a6aa75587e5c59c32d347da438505fc3&tag={"name": "team1", "color": "#00BFFF"}

The platform will reply with the created tag id. We can find this tag using the tag/list call.

Assigning

Now we need to assign this tag to our objects. We can do it using the update call for these objects. Also, we can assign this tag to a new object while creating. It can be done with adding the "tags" parameter to objects in these calls:

Searching objects with tag

Tags assigned with objects. To find all these objects with information we should use tag/search call.

For example:

curl -X POST 'https://api.navixy.com/v2/tag/search' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{"hash": "22eac1c27af4be7b9d04da2ce1af111b", "tag_ids": [179227]}'

https://api.navixy.com/v2/tag/search?hash=22eac1c27af4be7b9d04da2ce1af111b&tag_ids=[179227]

The platform will provide us with objects with assigned tag in the response:
