Edit tag

This method is a lot more complex than Rename tag and Delete tag. It is used to assign tags to articles. Not only user-created tags, but also system ones. For example it is used to mark articles as read, or to star them.

Request:

POST https://www.inoreader.com/reader/api/0/edit-tag

Request parameters:

• a - tag to add
• r - tag to remove
• i - item ID. Can accept two types of values (see Article ID formats), whichever you prefer:
  • tag:google.com,2005:reader/item/1234567890
  • 1234567890 (shortened ID, preferred as it saves bandwidth)

Additionally i can be an array of IDs instead of a scalar value, so you can tag multiple items at once

List of system tags:

• user/-/state/com.google/read - mark/unmark this article as read. Note that articles with timestampUsec older than firstitemmsec of its feed cannot be marked as unread. The API will silently ignore this request.
• user/-/state/com.google/starred - Add/Remove star (favorite) to the article.
• user/-/state/com.google/broadcast - Broadcast article.
• user/-/state/com.google/like - Like article.
• user/-/label/tag_name - add custom tag.

Examples:

This will mark two articles as read in one request:

https://www.inoreader.com/reader/api/0/edit-tag?a=user/-/state/com.google/read&i=12345678&i=12345679

This will mark two articles as unread and will add test tag to them:

https://www.inoreader.com/reader/api/0/edit-tag?r=user/-/state/com.google/read&a=user/-/label/com.google/test&i=12345678&i=12345679
