Quicksight search tag feature

Question & Answer

Hi,
I’m using this api * tag-resource for tagging dashboards.
I find it difficult to search for all the dashboards that have certain tag. Is there a call that makes this easy? I assume it would be some “search_tag” call.
What do you suggest as best way in terms of performance for that type of search?
Thanks

Hi @Natasa - Thanks for your question. I do not think there is any direct API available in QuickSight which can tell you for a particular tag, what are the dashboard are available. you have to create a custom logic for the same.

  1. List all dashboards from the API - * list_dashboards
  2. Do a loop and for each dashboard, extract all tags - * list_tags_for_resource
  3. Finally you can search your require tag and collect the dashboard details.

We can request for a feature request for search_tag in coming days.

Hi @DylanM @duncan - can you please help on this?

Thanks, that is what I’m doing now, but is not the best method when there are many dashboards to loop through. Would be nice to have that search.
Thanks for quick reply!

Hi @Natasa - Completely agree. We will request QuickSight team to add “Search_Tag” as a feature request.
