SearchStax Cloud API – Tags


Overview

SearchStax provides an API supporting the creation, deletion and management of SearchStax Cloud deployments for hosted Solr.

Platinum and Platinum Plus Clients Only!

The SearchStax API suite is available to our Platinum and Platinum Plus clients only, as noted on our Pricing page.

This page describes how to add and manage tags using API methods.

The API can be accessed through any tool that assembles HTTP requests and dispatch them to a server. Among these would be the Python coreapi package, the Postman tool, and cURL. For Windows, use PowerShell 7+.

Account Owner, Admin, or Technical Contact

To run the SearchStax Provisioning API, you must be the account Owner, an account Admin, or a Technical Contact. See SearchStax User Roles.

Symbols enclosed in carets (< and >) such as <username> are metavariables. Substitute your local values when you encounter them in the examples.
