Thanks for your responses. Really helpful!
One more thing I want clarity on:
Can I use the admin API to create a new tag? I don’t see that option in the tags API, it only allows me to create/update new tag groups.
My second thought was to create a new topic and add my desired tags to it through the API, but the available options in the docs don’t have a tags field in them.
Here are my options:
Why I need this:
I’m trying to test how my system will perform if I have 5000 tags.
I’ll also eventually need this if I migrate my topics from subcategories to tags. I will need to create those tags first.
