Device Tag APIs

Tags are labels added to devices to group them together. Tags are useful when searching devices using device filters. Tags are also useful when OTA updates (deployments) need to be deployed on a subset of devices.

Tagging a device is a two-step process.
- Create a tag.
- Attach the tag to a device.

A tag can be attached to multiple devices and multiple tags can be attached to a single device.
