I want to use the box API to add and delete tags

Hey Dan, 

Yes, it is possible to add and delete tags via the API. You are correct that you need to use the update file endpoint. There is a note on this if you look at the tags body parameter: 

To add or remove a tag, retrieve the item's current tags, modify them, and then update this field.

 Best,

Hey Kourtney

Thank you for your answer,I know the boby parameter.In this way, current tags will be covered. If I want  to add or delete tag I have to know the current  tags . I want to know if there are other endpoints that can add tags directly without knowing the existing tags.

Ah I see what you're saying -- thank you for the clarification. No, unfortunately, there is not currently a separate endpoint for this. If this is a feature you'd like to see added to our roadmap, please submit your feedback to our product team at https://pulse.box.com.
