  • count: indicates that resources are searched by tag and the number of resources meeting the search criteria is returned.

offset

No

String

Specifies the index position. The query starts from the next image indexed by this parameter. The value must be a non-negative number.

You do not need to specify this parameter when querying resources on the first page. When you query resources on subsequent pages, set offset to the location returned in the response body for the previous query.
