API ReferenceEndpointsTagsUpdate a tag

Update a tag

Partial update: rename, toggle active, set per-locale translations, or set/clear the tag image (upload via /v1/media first, pass image: null to remove). Supports Idempotency-Key header for safe retries.

PATCH
/v1/tags/{id}
AuthorizationBearer <token>

Admin API key (server-to-server). Issue via the dashboard at Settings → API keys. Plain-text key is shown once — store in a secret manager. Format: Authorization: Bearer brainerce_xxxxxxxxx.

In: header

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key?string

Client-supplied key (a UUID v4 is the recommended form, max 255 characters) that makes this mutation safe to retry.

  • Replay window: 24 hours. The first response for a key is cached; a retry inside the window with the same request body returns the original status and body without re-running the handler.
  • Reusing a key with a different body returns 409 Conflict with code: "IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED". The request fingerprint (method + path + body hash) is compared against the stored one; a mismatch is refused rather than served the old response.
  • Keys are scoped to the calling credential and store — two API keys may safely use the same key value.
  • Error responses are cached too, so a retry of a request that failed validation returns the same 400 immediately.
  • Sending this header on a GET returns 400 with code: "IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_NOT_SUPPORTED" — GETs are already idempotent.
  • Support is per-route and this parameter is the authoritative signal: a key sent to a route that does not declare it is accepted and silently ignored.

See /docs/api/idempotency.

Lengthlength <= 255
name?string

Tag name. Case-insensitive, and unique per store.

isActive?boolean

Active state. Inactive tags stay attached to existing products but are hidden from filter UIs.

translations?object

Per-locale overrides keyed by locale code, merged over the existing translations, for example { "he": { "name": "..." } }.

image?string | null

Tag image URL. Upload via /v1/media first. Pass null to clear it.

imageKey?string | null

R2/S3 object key for image. Pass null to clear it. Derived from image when omitted and the URL is one of this store's uploads.
