Hi, I have requirement not to use public_id to get image url. Instead, I am thinking to use tag(will set unique tag to each image while uploading) and search image based on unique tag name. 

We have around 150000+ images. 

Can i go ahead with this approach. wil search api handles many requests?

  Hello Scott, 

  Thanks for reaching out.

  You can use the Admin API to query for assets that have a particular tag applied. But the Admin API is rate limited.
  https://cloudinary.com/documentation/admin_api#get_resources_by_tag

  You could also try the client-side asset list. This is not rate-limited because it is not an API call. It is a JSON  list of all assets with a particular tag.

  If you click the following URL, you will see a list of all assets in our demo account that have a tag of 'logo':

  I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. 

  Kind Regards, 

  Tia
