Hi guys. How can i get tags and/or attributes returned as and object map instead of an array in API Node using Devices (or device): GET. In the node “Device: GET” we have this options. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/6/65b4daeb219d236ff131d76a1b68d8be94a0c414.png) But i wanna this in the API Node. Thank you, hope you guys understood what i need. ---

Hi @Igo_Monteiro, and welcome to the Losant Forums. Sadly there is not a way to return the attributes and tags as an object map in the API currently, but I’m filing a feature request to allow that by passing a flag as a query parameter. I will follow up with you if it is selected for development. ---

Thank you @Dylan_Schuster, this will be an important update. I constantly use this feature (tags/attributes as object), because its more reusable and flexible than access using array.
