# Create tag

POST https://api.modulards.com/api/public/v1/tags
Content-Type: application/json

Creates a tag. Answers **201** with the tag document and a `Location` header pointing at the new resource.

**Body** (JSON):
- `name` (string, required, max 30) — unique among your organization's tags.
- `color` (string, required) — hex color, e.g. `#FF5733`.

New tags always append at the end of the list (`order` is assigned automatically); reposition with a follow-up `PATCH`.

Requires a full-access token (read-only tokens answer 403). Validation failures answer 422 with a JSON:API `errors` document.

Reference: https://api.docs.modulards.com/modular-ds-public-api/websites/create-tag
