One aspect of the API I'm struggling with is that tagging downloads is only possible after a download has been created. This requires multiple API requests and I'm running into some race conditions, likely due to eventual consistency patterns.
Unfortunately, based on what's currently available, tags cannot be set as part of the initial create call. The existing API supports editing tags (name, tags, and alternative hashes) on torrents, usenet downloads, and web downloads after creation via dedicated edit endpoints β but this is a post-creation step, which is exactly the friction you're describing.[1]
Your suggestion to include tags as an optional parameter in the create calls is a reasonable one that would reduce round-trips and sidestep the race conditions you're encountering. This doesn't appear to be a feature that currently exists.
