# Tag avatar

The icon shown for a tag, uploaded as an image or assigned from the built-in set.

A tag's avatar is the icon the interface shows for it. There are two ways to set one, and this page has an operation for each: assign one of the Navixy platform's built-in icons, or upload an image of your own.

An uploaded avatar is served from `[api_base_url]/[api_static_path]/tag/avatars/<file_name>`, for example `https://api.eu.navixy.com/v2/static/tag/avatars/abcdef123456789.png`. The upload returns `avatar_file_name`, which [`tag/list`](/docs/navixy-api/user-api/resources/commons/tag.md#post-tag-list) also returns.

The upload is a multipart request rather than JSON, with the image in a part named `file`, and its MIME type must be one of `image/jpeg`, `image/pjpeg`, `image/png`, `image/gif`, or `image/webp`.

## API actions

API base path: `/tag/avatar`.

Every operation on this page requires the `tag_update` sub-user right.

***

## Assign tag icon

> Assign an icon from the standard icon set to a tag.\
> \
> Set \`icon\_id\` to null to use an uploaded avatar instead of an icon.\
> \
> Also accepts GET with the same parameters as query-string values.\
> \
> Requires the \`tag\_update\` right.

#### Errors

These errors come in addition to the [general error codes](/docs/navixy-api/general/errors.md#error-codes):

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://navixy.com/docs/navixy-api/user-api/resources/commons/tag/tag_avatar.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
