    Is there a way to get a list of Tags used in a TFS Project through an API call?

    I've seen this question a couple of times and people have responded with querying with Tags and getting the Tags from a WorkItem.  This isn't what I'm looking for.  I want to get the complete list.

    Thanks,

    Cash

    hi Cash

    which TFS version are you using ?

    Visual Studio Online does have a work item tags REST API which returns the available tags - eventually it is available in TFS 2013.4 already or in TFS 2015 .

    Have yous seen "Tag Admin for Visual Studio"

    https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/3821cea9-96b4-46e3-9609-ad1d2c344424

    This seems to be doing it.

    Hi Cash,

    Sorry for missing the informaiton. "Tag Admin for Visual Studio 2013" is a 3rd party extention to TFS, I haven't tried with it to mange tags for work items. You can have a check if it works for you.

    Best regards,

    Hi Charles.  Thanks for taking the time.

    However, this plug-in doesn't work for me in the sense I need the API calls it seems to be using.

    It displays all the TAGS and their counts in Visual Studio Plug in.  While that's nice, I have a different purpose.  With that said, it must be getting the information somehow.

    Can anyone help me find these calls?

    That's getting real close!  I'm using TFS 2013 Update 4 hosted server.  Your link seems to be specific for VS Online.  

    I'm trying to see if there is an equivalent for an onsite hosted server and haven't found it yet.

    Thanks Daniel.  While I didn't find docs for a hosted server, I was able to translate it using a bit of trial and error guessing:

    http://{tfs server}:8080/tfs/{collection}/_apis/tagging/scopes/{project id}/tags

    So, really you provided the answer.  Thanks again!

    Hi Cash,

    The REST API for tags in on-premise TFS, you can try the format as below:

    http://{tfs server}:8080/tfs/{collection}/_apis/tagging/scopes/{project id}/tags?api-version=1.0

    Best regards,
