# List, Add, and Remove Image Tags

You can assign tags to specific images on Roboflow using the REST API

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="REST API" %}
To add, remove, and set tags to images hosted on Roboflow, make POST request to the following API endpoint. Use the Search API to retrieve the image ID associated with the image name:

```url
https://api.roboflow.com/:workspace/:project/images/:image_id/tags
```

Here is an example request to the API (can "add", "remove", or "set" a tag):

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.roboflow.com/my-workspace/my-project-name/images/image-id/tags?api_key=$ROBOFLOW_API_KEY" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data \
'{
    "operation": "add",
    "tags": "image_tag_test"
}'
```

This endpoint accepts the following values in the POST body:

```json
{
     // // options are ["add", "remove", "set"]
     "operation": string,
     
     // array of strings of the tags
     "tags": string[],
     
}
```

The API will add the tag to the specified image in Roboflow (remember to pass in the image ID to the post request and not the image name).
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.roboflow.com/developer/rest-api/manage-images/list-add-and-remove-image-tags.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
