Creating a tag provider and tag group programmatically?

Howdy,

I'm trying to create a script to update our sites with a new tag provider and a new tag group.
We have a lot of gateways so I want to find a solution that doesn't involve opening a designer session at each site. We have automated code deployment, so if I can find a way to script these creations it will save a lot of manual effort.

I've found some references that show reading an existing tag group, modifying it, and then saving it. That might work but seems clunky.

I don't see any way to create a tag provider yet, though.

Has anyone successfully done either of these?

Thanks!

It sounds like you are going to want to maybe use EAM. I am not 100% sure if it will dynamically create the tag providers or if you have those existing already.

There are SDK methods that permit manipulating tag groups, but no exposed SDK method to create/manipulate a native realtime tag provider. Sorry.
