The Tag Management API exists to allow for the retrieval, creation and configuration of all Tags in our system. "Tags" is our collective term for QR codes and NFC tags. These tags are designed to connect your assets with the mobile devices of your store customers, web site visitors, friends and family. Tags can represent pretty much anything that may be of interest to you: a physical product, a web site, a marketing campaign, an event, anything. The ability to manage tags programmatically allows you to integrate these tags into your existing systems and to automate what would normally be a manual process.

Example Use Cases

  • Retrieve a list of all your tag-able items
  • Synchronize your inventory with our database, creating and updating tags as often as needed.
  • Set up events in your system to trigger tag creation or updates
  • Alter the behavior of your tags programmatically based on changes in data in your system
  • Schedule the activation, deactivation or alteration of tags based on calendar events
  • Automate the generation of tags when new tag-able items are entered into your system
  • Generate and save printable QR codes

Basics

The Tag Management API is accessible under a /tags/ URI. This is a simple API with only a few different URI endpoints and is designed to be inherently scalable for very large workloads around batch updates and continuous consumption.
