Cannot add tags via the API

I’m trying to add tags via the API, but I’m doing something wrong.

Here’s a good request made from the website:

PUT https://example.com/t/ueber-die-kategorie-organisation/74 HTTP/1.1

tags%5B%5D=archiv-organisation&tags%5B%5D=archiv-2015

Here’s what I am trying to do:

PUT https://example.com/t/74?api_key=■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■&api_username=system HTTP/1.1
host: example.com
content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
content-length: 22
Connection: close

tags%5B%5D=archiv-2015

The server responds with 403 Forbidden.

Does anyone see what I’m doing wrong?

Aha, I found it. As it turns out, the slug is required and must be correct for the API call to work.
That’s slightly annoying, but a solvable problem :slight_smile:

URL: http://forumURL/t/topic_slug/topic_id?api_key=api_key&api_username=user_name
PUT DATA:

It looks like you are JSON-Encoding the body, which won’t work. Your body should look like this:

tags%5B%5D=archiv-2015

Thank you, I realize now that I was trying to set the tags using a header
Content-type: application/json when it should be Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
