Querying Images by Tag

Function

This API is used to filter or count images using tags or other conditions.

Constraints

To be compatible with remaining tags, the system will not verify the character set of the tag keys and values in the query condition when parameters tags not_tags, tags_any, and not_tags_any are used.

URI

POST /v2/{project_id}/images/resource_instances/action

Table 1 lists the parameters in the URI.

**Table 1** Parameter description
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
project_id	Yes	String	Specifies the project ID.

Request

Request parameters

Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
action	Yes	String	Identifies the operation. This parameter is case sensitive and its value can be filter or count. The value filter indicates pagination query. The value count indicates that the total number of query results meeting the search criteria will be returned.
tags	No	Array of objects	Includes all specified tags. A maximum of 10 tag keys are allowed for each query operation. Each tag key can contain a maximum of 10 tag values. Both tag keys and values must be unique. The tag keys cannot be left blank. For details, see Table 2.
tags_any	No	Array of objects	Includes any of specified tags. A maximum of 10 tag keys are allowed for each query operation. Each tag key can contain a maximum of 10 tag values. Both tag keys and values must be unique. The tag keys cannot be left blank and set to an empty string. For details, see Table 3.
not_tags	No	Array of objects	Excludes all specified tags. A maximum of 10 tag keys are allowed for each query operation. Each tag key can contain a maximum of 10 tag values. Both tag keys and values must be unique. The tag keys cannot be left blank. For details, see Table 4.
not_tags_any	No	Array of objects	Excludes any of specified tags. A maximum of 10 tag keys are allowed for each query operation. Each tag key can contain a maximum of 10 tag values. Both tag keys and values must be unique. The tag keys cannot be left blank. For details, see Table 5.
without_any_tag	No	Boolean	If this parameter is set to true, all resources without tags are queried. In this case, the tag, not_tags, tags_any, and not_tags_any fields are ignored.
limit	No	String	Specifies the maximum number of query records. This parameter is invalid when action is set to count. If action is set to filter, the parameter limit takes effect and its default value is 10. The value of limit ranges from 1 to 1000.
offset	No	String	Specifies the index position. The query starts from the next image indexed by this parameter. This parameter is not required when data on the first page is queried, and it is invalid when action is set to count. If action is set to filter, the default value of offset is 0. The value of offset cannot be a negative number.
matches	No	Array of objects	Specifies the search criteria. The tag key is the field to match, for example, resource_name or resource_id. value indicates the matched value. Keys in this list must be unique. The parameter cannot be left blank and may not be transferred. For details, see Table 6.

**Table 2** Data structure description of the tags field
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
key	Yes	String	Specifies the tag key. A tag key contains a maximum of 128 Unicode characters and cannot be left blank.
values	Yes	Array of strings	Lists the tag values. Each value can contain a maximum of 255 Unicode characters. If this parameter is left blank, any value is matched. If multiple values are listed, images that have any of the values will be returned.

**Table 3** Data structure description of the tags_any field
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
key	Yes	String	Specifies the tag key. A tag key contains a maximum of 128 Unicode characters and cannot be left blank.
values	Yes	Array of strings	Lists the tag values. Each value can contain a maximum of 255 Unicode characters. If this parameter is left blank, any value is matched. If multiple values are listed, images that have any of the values will be returned.

**Table 4** Data structure description of the not_tags field
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
key	Yes	String	Specifies the tag key. A tag key contains a maximum of 128 Unicode characters and cannot be left blank.
values	Yes	Array of strings	Lists the tag values. Each value can contain a maximum of 255 Unicode characters. If this parameter is left blank, any value is matched. If multiple values are listed, images that have any of the values will be returned.

**Table 5** Data structure description of the not_tags_any field
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
key	Yes	String	Specifies the tag key. A tag key contains a maximum of 128 Unicode characters and cannot be left blank.
values	Yes	Array of strings	Lists the tag values. Each value can contain a maximum of 255 Unicode characters. If this parameter is left blank, any value is matched. When multiple values are specified and the key requirements are met, images that have any of the specified values are queried.

**Table 6** Data structure description of the matches field
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
key	Yes	String	Specifies the tag key, that is to say, the field name for the query operation. Valid values include resource_name and resource_id. If the field name is resource_name and the value is an empty string, exact query is performed. Otherwise, fuzzy query is performed based on the image name. If the field name is resource_id, exact query is performed based on the image ID.
value	Yes	String	Specifies the tag value. It cannot be left blank. Each value can contain a maximum of 255 Unicode characters.
