I see that in the snapshots API, there is a list of “tags” per snapshot.
Is it possible to add a tag to a snapshot using the API? Also, is it possible to fetch all the snapshots with a certain tag?

Hi @firedragondol, sorry for the confusion. You can tag Droplet Snapshots via the API - they’re considered an image, so you would pass “resource_type”:“image”
Hope this helps!
Hey, yes you can do it for Volumes and Snapshots of Volumes but not for Droplet Snapshot at this moment.
A Tag is a label that can be applied to a resource (currently Droplets, Images, Volumes, Volume Snapshots, and Database clusters) in order to better organize or facilitate the lookups and actions on it.
Hello,
As far as I can see this is supported. According to the official documentation currently tagging of Droplets, Images, Volumes, and Volume Snapshots is supported.
You could take a look at this part of the API documentation in order to see the exact request that you need in order to do that:

Regarding retrieving by tag, you could take a look at this part of the documentation:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
