Yes, trying to pull a list of templates from the client "tagged" with a particular tag, and filtering on the client will work just fine.
I can make async calls and get what I need.
The association you provide "select=tags" is what I was missing!
Thanks!

Was curious if it's possible to use the odata api to query templates or other resources by associated tags.
I was looking at the output of:

/odata/templates

Which does not appear to contain any reference to the associated tags, etc.

Thanks
