Tenable Tags API

The Tenable Exposure Management tags API enables users to search for their organization's tags. Additionally, API endpoints are provided to retrieve a list of asset and tag properties that can be used as filters on endpoints that support them. For more information, see [Tagging](https://docs.tenable.com/exposure-management/Content/exposure-management/tagging/tagging.htm) in the _Tenable Exposure Management User Guide_.
