one of: popular, activity, name
Direction of the sort: `desc` (default) or `asc`.
one of: desc, asc
Up to this many rows per page, 1 to 100. Default: 30. A page can hold fewer than `limit` rows where rows share a creation second or a block of 100 rows ends. Follow `page.nextCursor` until `hasMore` is false.
≥ 1 · ≤ 100
Cursor from `page.nextCursor` of the previous response. It only works with the same filters.

Endpoint-specific response payload.
The Stack Exchange site the tags belong to.
The tags on this page.
Tag name.
Questions with the tag.
Whether other names point at this tag.
Whether only moderators can apply it.
Whether a question needs at least one tag of this kind.
Last question activity under the tag, ISO 8601 UTC; null when the list does not carry it.
Other names that point at this tag; empty when none or when the list does not carry them.
Pagination state for the current page.
Whether another page is available.
Cursor for the next page; null on the last page.
True when the list stopped at the site's 25-page ceiling (2,500 rows, or 625 when the page carries text), or when a user's answer or comment list is too large for page-offset paging and has served its first 100 rows (25 when it carries text). Sort by `creation` to page deeper. False for every list that ends because it ran out.
True for `sort=popular` and `sort=activity`. Stack Exchange picks the rows of each page from a ranking that is not up to date with the counts it shows, so a tag whose count belongs on this page can be missing, and a page can start with the last tag of the one before (we remove those repeats). The rows returned are exactly what Stack Exchange returned. `sort=name` is exact.
