REST API queries to get vSphere Tags information

Hi ,

Currently I've found the following queries to display Tags in vSphere system:

REST API - list

GET https://{server}/rest/com/vmware/cis/tagging/tag

And we will get list of tag vsphere ids and then , to get more detailed info about each tag i have to put each Tag id into the next query. e.g.

GET https://{server}/rest/com/vmware/cis/tagging/tag/id:{tag_id}

which will show us:

{

    "value": {

        "category_id": "obj-103",

        "description": "string",

        "id": "obj-103",

        "name": "string",

        "used_by": [

            "string",

            "string"

        ]

    }

}

The same situation is with Tag Categories.

My question is:

Is there some unique query to get all the Tag (and Category) values at a time? In my case mentioned above multiple queries for each Tag will cause performance issue.

Many thanks!
