# Dev.to Tags API

Tags on Dev.to, most used first, for choosing what to read or collect next.

`GET /v1/dev-to/tags` returns `tags`, a page of tags with `id`, `name`, `summary`, `backgroundColor` and `textColor`. The list starts with the most used tags. Use `page` and `limit` to walk it, up to 1000 tags per request.

This route gives the tag list shape. For one tag's logo, guidelines, about text and page count, use `/v1/dev-to/tag?name=javascript`. For posts under a tag, use `/v1/dev-to/articles?tag=javascript`.

## FAQ

### How are tags ordered?

Most used first. The order is Dev.to's, not alphabetical, so use page.nextPage to keep it stable.

### How many credits does a tags page cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth. Each paginated page is a separate billed request.

### How do I get posts for a tag?

Send tag to GET /v1/dev-to/articles, for example tag=javascript. You can add top=N to limit the posts to the last N days.

### What does summary contain?

A short description of the tag, or null when the tag has none. For the full about text and guidelines, use the single tag route.
