silly I’m happy overall, but hoping this functionality can be introduced soon

Tag Functionality in the get_account_tree Action Is Imperative

Lets say,
I have added a specific tag to specific folders within /path/to/specific/folders. Lets say the tag is "red".
I need some of the information that is returned when I take the following action ( of course with real api key, auth token, and folder id):

https://www.box.net/api/1.0/rest?acti...

This of course returns everything within that folder. I don't want everything. I only want the folders that have been tagged, "red".

Allowing us to filter those results with tags would dramatically improve the functionality of the Box API. I can't believe this sort of functionality doesn't already exist. I am in desperate need of it.

Last night I was playing around with the API for the first time and I tryed to take this action by using the following url:

First I used the export_tags function to get a list of tags with id #'s then

https://www.box.net/api/1.0/rest?acti...

At first I thought it worked, but then I realized that the tag_id=939937 part of the url was just ignored.

It would also be great to be able to specify multiple tags, and how about the ability to define our own simple params instead of the one size fits all simple param

Who agrees?
