How to add tags to the customer using RESTful API

Question

How the additional tags/custom properties can be added to the Customer (Licensee) using RESTful API?

Answer

Any NetLicensing entity attribute, such as reserved attributes (name, number, etc.) and optional tags can be added same way. Use application/x-www-form-urlencoded key/value parameters in the POST request body.

Following sample CURL request (demo:demo) showcase this.

Request

$ curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --header 'Accept: application/xml' --header 'Authorization: Basic ZGVtbzpkZW1v' -d 'name=Customer%2001&contact=customer01%40labs64.com' 'https://go.netlicensing.io/core/v2/rest/licensee/CUST-01' | xmllint --format -
