Ignition 8.3 OpenAPI - Functionality Similar to Tag Browser Export for Tag and UDT JSON

Hello,

I have been testing out the API in 8.3 to import/export projects and pull backups—it has been working great!

However, while browsing through the available REST operations, I was unable to find a way to target a specific Tag Provider to export/import the JSON for tags and UDT definitions (similar to how you can in the Designer's Tag Browser).

The closest endpoint I found was “/find/ignition/tag_provider", but I believe this only reports high-level information about the provider itself. During testing it only listed core as an available collection although the example shows string, not sure if maybe I'm missing something to potentially expose more information.

I just wanted to verify if I accidentally overlooked this functionality. If not, I plan to submit a feature request.

Thanks for your time!

You should be able to cancel that request. You should be using the endpoint found at {gateway_address}/openapi#tag/tags/paths/~1data~1api~1v1~1tags~1export/get. That endpoint allows for you to supply a provider name as a URL param, as well as providing a URL param for the export type.

GET {gateway_address}/data/api/v1/tags/export?provider=MyProvider&type=json

Edit: This endpoint became available as part of 8.3.2.

Thanks for the response, I will take it down, I was running 8.3.1, just updated to 8.3.2.

Oh my goodness. I thought those were included from the initial 8.3.0 release! You’re right - they didn’t make it in until 8.3.2.
