How do I add tags via the post api endpoint

Development

I am having the same issue,

My php CURL call looks like this,

$body = '{
            "async": false,
            "title": "'.$word.'",
            "raw": "'.$definition.'",
            "category":'.$categoryId.',
            "topic_id": '.$topicsId.',
            "tags[]": "test-tag"
        }';

it is creating the topic via API but never creates the tags. what am i doing wrong?

When i made a new topic from my browser with tags, the form data looks like this,

and this creates the topic with the new tag.

But when i pass the tags in same format in the API call, it doesn’t seem to work. it only creates the topic but never creates any tag, even if old tag exists? Any ideas what am i doing wrong?
