.. py:method:: ApplicationAutoScaling.Client.tag_resource(**kwargs)

  

  Adds or edits tags on an Application Auto Scaling scalable target.

   

  Each tag consists of a tag key and a tag value, which are both case-sensitive strings. To add a tag, specify a new tag key and a tag value. To edit a tag, specify an existing tag key and a new tag value.

   

  You can use this operation to tag an Application Auto Scaling scalable target, but you cannot tag a scaling policy or scheduled action.

   

  You can also add tags to an Application Auto Scaling scalable target while creating it ( ``RegisterScalableTarget``).

   

  For general information about tags, including the format and syntax, see `Tagging your Amazon Web Services resources <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_tagging.html>`__ in the *Amazon Web Services General Reference*.

   

  Use tags to control access to a scalable target. For more information, see `Tagging support for Application Auto Scaling <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/application/userguide/resource-tagging-support.html>`__ in the *Application Auto Scaling User Guide*.

  **Request Syntax**
  ::

    response = client.tag_resource(
        ResourceARN='string',
        Tags={
            'string': 'string'
        }
    )
    
  :type ResourceARN: string
  :param ResourceARN: **[REQUIRED]** 

    Identifies the Application Auto Scaling scalable target that you want to apply tags to.

     

    For example: ``arn:aws:application-autoscaling:us-east-1:123456789012:scalable-target/1234abcd56ab78cd901ef1234567890ab123``

     

    To get the ARN for a scalable target, use  DescribeScalableTargets.

    

  
  :type Tags: dict
  :param Tags: **[REQUIRED]** 

    The tags assigned to the resource. A tag is a label that you assign to an Amazon Web Services resource.

     

    Each tag consists of a tag key and a tag value.

     

    You cannot have more than one tag on an Application Auto Scaling scalable target with the same tag key. If you specify an existing tag key with a different tag value, Application Auto Scaling replaces the current tag value with the specified one.

     

    For information about the rules that apply to tag keys and tag values, see `User-defined tag restrictions <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/allocation-tag-restrictions.html>`__ in the *Amazon Web Services Billing User Guide*.
