# Bulk assigning tags to existing questions

Asked by Hannah Wright on 2026-07-04 · 10 votes

We have hundreds of untagged legacy questions. Is there a bulk tagging tool, or do we need to script it against the API?

No bulk UI yet, but the API supports looping over questions and calling the tag endpoint for each one, that is the fastest path today for a few hundred questions.

Wrote a quick script against exactly that, happy to share it if useful.

Looping through the API worked fine for our few hundred too, took about ten minutes to write.

If anyone needs it we also have an internal script we can share as a starting point, just ask support.

The API loop worked fine for our couple hundred as well, just make sure to add a small delay between calls to stay under the rate limit.
