Tags

The document-level tags field contains a list of tag definitions that may be used to categorize or group operations in the API. Tags can be referenced by operations via the operations-level tags field.

Tag definitions at the document level are optional, even if an undefined tag is referenced in an operation, but it is recommended that all tags used are defined here to provide useful documentation and intent for the tags.

Tag names must be unique in the document.

Example:


tags:
- name: drinks
description: The drinks endpoints.
- name: authentication
description: The authentication endpoints.
