AFAIK you don’t need tag ids. You can just pass the tag names.

Does anyone know if this should work in 2.0.0.beta9? Tags are not mentioned in the API docs for `POST /posts`.  
I tried to create topics with `tags="testtag"` but got a HTTP 500 error.

From the logs:

```plaintext
NoMethodError (undefined method `-' for "testtag":String)

You should try like `tags[]="testtag"`. It’s an array type.

Это не работает. Есть способ добавить теги?

Это не работает, мой вызов выглядит так:

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

```
