Global Tagging - IBM Cloud API Docs

Introduction

Last updated: 2021-06-09

You can manage your tags in IBM Cloud by using the Global Tagging API. With this API, you can create, delete, search, attach, or detach tags.

Tags are uniquely identified by a Cloud Resource Naming (CRN) identifier. Tags have a name, which must be unique within a billing account. You can make tags in key:value or label format.

SDKs for Java, Node, Python, and Go are available to make it easier to programmatically access the API from your code. The client libraries that are provided by the SDKs implement best practices for using the API and reduce the amount of code that you need to write. The tab for each language includes code examples that demonstrate how to use the client libraries. For more information about using the SDKs, see the IBM Cloud SDK Common project on GitHub.

Types of tags

The Tagging API supports three types of tag: service, user, and access.

Service tags are intended for services that want to attach a tag to a resource in an exclusive way: nobody else can go and detach it. A service tag is a privileged construct that only authorized services can manage. So, a regular user is not authorized to attach and detach service tags on a resource even if they have access to manage tags on the resource itself.

Service tags are supported only for resources that are onboarded to Global Search and Tagging, which means you cannot attach a service tag to an IMS resource.
User tags are added by an authorized user in the account. Any user with the correct access role in an account can list and can delete both service and user tags in the account as long as they are not attached to any resource. Users can delete service tags because the operation is non-disruptive in that the tags aren't attached to any resource.

The Tagging API supports multiple services assigning a tag prefix at service registration time to avoid conflicts. So, a service tag name always has the form service_prefix:tag_label.
Access management tags are used to manage access to resources, and they can be created in advance for use in access policies, which control access to resources where those tags will be attached. Only the account administrator can create access management tags, and they can delete them only when the tags aren't attached to any resources in the account. Only the resource administrator can attach and detach access management tags on the resource itself.

The name of an access management tag must be in the form of a key:value pair, where value cannot contain the : character.
Access management tags are supported only for IAM-managed resources, which means you cannot use them to manage access to IMS and Cloud Foundry resources.

Filtering tags

Global Search and Tagging stores the different type of tags attached to a resource within a different attribute of the resource document:

Service tags are stored within service_tags attribute.
User tags are stored within the tags attribute.
Access management tags are stored within the access_tags attribute.

So, you can add filters to those attributes when searching for resources.

For example, the following filter matches all resources tagged with the your_service:your_tag service tag.

service_tags: "your_service:your_tag"

The following filter matches all resources that are tagged with any service tag starting with your_service:.

service_tags: "your_service:*"

The following filter matches all resources that are tagged with the my_tag user tag.

tags: "my_tag"

Finally, the following filter matches all resources that are tagged with the env:public access management tag.

access_tags: "env:public"

Endpoint URLs

The Global Tagging API uses the following public global endpoint URL. When you call the API, add the path for each method to form the complete API endpoint for your requests.

https://tags.global-search-tagging.cloud.ibm.com

If you enabled service endpoints in your account, you can send API requests over the IBM Cloud® private network at the following base endpoint URLs. For more information, see Enabling VRF and service endpoints.

Private endpoint URL for VPC infrastructure: https://tags.private.global-search-tagging.cloud.ibm.com
Private endpoint URL (Dallas) for classic infrastructure: https://tags.private.us-south.global-search-tagging.cloud.ibm.com

Example API request

curl -X POST "https://tags.global-search-tagging.cloud.ibm.com/v3/tags/attach" --header "Accept: application/json" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "Authorization: Bearer {IAM token}" -d '{"tag_names": ["{tagName}"], "resources": [ { "resource_id": "{resourceCRN}" } ] }'

Replace {IAM token}, {tagName} and {resourceCRN} in this example with the values for your particular API call.

Authentication

Authorization to the Global Tagging API is enforced by using an IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) access token. The token is used to determine the actions that a user or service ID has access to when they use the API.

Obtaining an IAM token for an authenticated user or service ID is described in the IAM Identity Services API documentation.

To use the API, add a valid IAM token to the HTTP Authorization request header, for example, --header "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>".

When you use the SDK, configure an IAM authenticator with the IAM API key. The authenticator automatically obtains the IAM access token for the API key and includes it with each request. You can construct an authenticator in either of two ways:

Programmatically by constructing an IAM authenticator instance and supplying your IAM API key
By defining the API key in external configuration properties and then using the SDK authenticator factory to construct an IAM authenticator that uses the configured IAM API key

In this example of using external configuration properties, an IAM authenticator instance is created with the configured API key, and then the service client is constructed with this authenticator instance and the configured service URL.

For more information, see the Authentication section of the IBM Cloud SDK Common documentation.

To call each method, you'll need to be assigned a role that includes the required IAM actions. Each method lists the associated action. For more information about IAM actions and how they map to roles, see Assigning access to account management services.

To retrieve your access token:

curl -X POST   "https://iam.test.cloud.ibm.com/identity/token"   --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'   --header 'Accept: application/json'   --data-urlencode 'grant_type=urn:ibm:params:oauth:grant-type:apikey'   --data-urlencode 'apikey=<API_KEY>'

Replace <API_KEY> with your IAM API key.

Setting client options through external configuration

Example environment variables, where <SERVICE_URL> is the endpoint URL and <API_KEY> is your IAM API key

export GLOBAL_TAGGING_URL=<SERVICE_URL>
export GLOBAL_TAGGING_AUTHTYPE=iam
export GLOBAL_TAGGING_APIKEY=<API_KEY>

Example of constructing the service client

import {
    "github.com/IBM/platform-services-go-sdk/globaltaggingv1"
}
...
serviceClientOptions := &globaltaggingv1.GlobalTaggingV1Options{}
serviceClient, err := globaltaggingv1.NewGlobalTaggingV1UsingExternalConfig(serviceClientOptions)

Setting client options through external configuration

Example environment variables, where <SERVICE_URL> is the endpoint URL and <API_KEY> is your IAM API key

export GLOBAL_TAGGING_URL=<SERVICE_URL>
export GLOBAL_TAGGING_AUTHTYPE=iam
export GLOBAL_TAGGING_APIKEY=<API_KEY>

Example of constructing the service client

import com.ibm.cloud.platform_services.global_tagging.v1.GlobalTagging;
...
GlobalTagging serviceClient = GlobalTagging.newInstance();

Setting client options through external configuration

Example environment variables, where <SERVICE_URL> is the endpoint URL and <API_KEY> is your IAM API key

export GLOBAL_TAGGING_URL=<SERVICE_URL>
export GLOBAL_TAGGING_AUTHTYPE=iam
export GLOBAL_TAGGING_APIKEY=<API_KEY>

Example of constructing the service client

const GlobalTaggingV1 = require('@ibm-cloud/platform-services/global-tagging/v1');
...
const serviceClient = GlobalTaggingV1.newInstance({});

Setting client options through external configuration

Example environment variables, where <SERVICE_URL> is the endpoint URL and <API_KEY> is your IAM API key

export GLOBAL_TAGGING_URL=<SERVICE_URL>
export GLOBAL_TAGGING_AUTHTYPE=iam
export GLOBAL_TAGGING_APIKEY=<API_KEY>

Example of constructing the service client

from ibm_platform_services import GlobalTaggingV1
...
service_client = GlobalTaggingV1.new_instance()

Auditing

You can monitor API activity within your account by using the IBM Cloud Activity Tracker. Whenever an API method is called, an event is generated that you can then track and audit from within Activity Tracker. The specific event type is listed for each individual method.

For more information about how to track tagging activity, see Auditing events for account management.

Error handling

The resource manager uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate whether a method completed successfully. A 200 type response always indicates success. A 400 type response is a failure, and a 500 type response is an internal system error.

HTTP error code	Description	Recovery
`200`	Success	The request was successful.
`400`	Bad Request	The input parameters in the request body are either incomplete or in the wrong format. Be sure to include all required parameters in your request.
`401`	Unauthorized	You are not authorized to make this request. Log in to IBM Cloud and try again. If this error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.
`404`	Not Found	The requested resource could not be found.
`409`	Conflict	The entity is already in the requested state.
`410`	Gone	The resource is valid but has been removed already in a previous call
`500`	Internal Server Error	offering_name is currently unavailable. Your request could not be processed. Wait a few minutes and try again.

After tagging resources, you can search for them by the tag name or resource groups or building even more complex search strings. For more information about advanced search capabilities that use the Lucene query syntax, see the Global Search API.

Lists all tags in a billing account. Use the attached_to parameter to return the list of tags attached to the specified resource.

Possible values: Value must match regular expression /^[a-fA-F0-9-]+$|^[*]{1}$/
tag_type
str
The type of the tag. Supported values are user, service and access. service and access are not supported for IMS resources.

Allowable values: [user,service,access]
Default: user

Example request

curl -X POST --header "Authorization: Bearer {iam_token}"   --header "Accept: application/json"   --header "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{ "resources": [{ "resource_id": "{RESOURCE_CRN}" }], "tag_names": ["tag_test_1", "tag_test_2"] }'   "{base_url}/v3/tags/detach?tag_type=user"

Example request

resourceModel := &globaltaggingv1.Resource{
  ResourceID: &resourceCRN,

if err != nil {
  panic(err)
}
b, _ := json.MarshalIndent(tagResults, "", "  ")
fmt.Println(string(b))

Example request

Resource resourceModel = new Resource.Builder().resourceId(resourceCRN).build();
DetachTagOptions detachTagOptions = new DetachTagOptions.Builder()
    .addResources(resourceModel)
    .addTagNames("tag_test_1")

Tag one resource by passing in one or more tags. Tag references are cleared out every time this operation is called. If your resource is already tagged you will need to pass the current tags along with any new ones. To remove all tag references pass an empty tag_names array. To remove one or more tags omit them from the tag_names array. You can only set tags to a specific subset of IMS resources and only if you have the needed permission.
