Tags can be used for organization, Alerts, Rate limiting, and more which means having the right tags helps your team and your end-users
These examples are in Ruby, which you can run with irb in the terminal or claude can help translate them 
require 'csv'
api_key = YOUR_API_KEY # from https://app.chameleon.io/settings/tokens

​
Example: List all the Tag IDs and names

response = JSON.parse(`curl 'https://api.chameleon.io/v3/edit/tags?limit=500' -H 'X-Account-Secret: #{api_key}'`.chomp)
tags = response['tags']
puts "Found #{tags.size} tag#{tags.size == 1 ? '' : 's'}:"

puts CSV.generate_line(['Tag ID', 'Tag name'])
tags.each do |tag|
  puts CSV.generate_line([tag['id'], tag['name']])
end; nil

​
Example: Tag four Tours with exactly these three tags each

  • A Tour, Microsurvey, and Embeddable are all model_type=Campaign
  • Use tag_names to remove any current tags and add exactly the tag_names tags
tag_names = ['Onboarding', 'Onboarding 2029-02', 'Company size bucket: Medium'] # Examples
tour_updates = [
  { model_type: 'Campaign', model_id: TOUR_01_ID, tag_names: tag_names },
  { model_type: 'Campaign', model_id: TOUR_02_ID, tag_names: tag_names },
  { model_type: 'Campaign', model_id: TOUR_09_ID, tag_names: tag_names },
  { model_type: 'Campaign', model_id: TOUR_11_ID, tag_names: tag_names },
]

body = { updates: tour_updates }.to_json
response = JSON.parse(`curl -X POST 'https://api.chameleon.io/edit/v3/tags/bulk' -H 'X-Account-Secret: #{api_key}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '#{body}'`.chomp)

if response['code'] # code is presented back with error states
  puts "Updating encountered an error code=#{response['code']}, messages=#{response['messages'].join(', ')}"
else
  puts "Tags applied successfully"
end

​
Example: Tag one Tour and one Launcher

  • Use tag_name with a + to add the tag and - to remove a tag
mixed_updates = [
  { model_type: 'Campaign', model_id: TOUR_01_ID, tag_name: '+Onboarding 2029-02' },
  { model_type: 'List', model_id: LAUNCHER_01_ID, tag_name: '-Self-serve' },
  { model_type: 'List', model_id: LAUNCHER_01_ID, tag_name: '+Onboarding 2029-02' },
  { model_type: 'List', model_id: LAUNCHER_01_ID, tag_name: '+Self-serve Onboarding' },
]

body = { updates: mixed_updates }.to_json
response = JSON.parse(`curl -X POST 'https://api.chameleon.io/edit/v3/tags/bulk' -H 'X-Account-Secret: #{api_key}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '#{body}'`.chomp)

if response['code']
  puts "Updating encountered an error: #{response['messages'].join(', ')}"
else
  puts "Tags applied successfully"
end
