Can I connect Device and create tags through Ignition API. If possible, how can I achieve this.
Learn all about that and more here. If you never used ignition before I highly recommend you go through the courses.

Yes. You can find a complete example in my SpreadSheet Import Tool on the Ignition Exchange. Just alter the code to use whatever you want instead of a spreadsheet.

But There is nothing What I asked for, like I asked Can we create tags through Ignition Rest API.
Read the docs on your gateway: http://[GATEWAY]:8088/openapi
I did There is nothing for the Tag Creation .
Are you sure you can't import tags?
http://[GATEWAY]:8088/openapi#tag/tags/paths/~1data~1api~1v1~1tags~1import/post
are you sure this is exact api for this. Because there is API s for tag provider not for tags
yes i already use it to add tags.
why
Follow the guides, its all there, and it all works.
for me it is not showing. You are using which version or is it a licensed or free trial.
trial 8.3.2
Hi Arnaud,
I found that section in the API but I am unsure what to do with this information. I have read the API Documentation | Ignition User Manual page and looked at the example request but it is just not clicking for me. Could you please explain how to use it or at least point me to a resource (forum or documentation) which could help me?
Much appreciated.
Regards,
Liam
Have you ever used a REST API before? This will change the answers you need to know.
Are you Using http or https APIs
after importing tags, is gonna show in the designer or in the gateway?
Hi David. Yep, I have used REST API before. I am new to Ignition though. Cheers.
