Hello everyone!
I am currently fetching tags from a public library through the Zotero API. I would like to ask what exactly the field "type" (under "meta") means in the response. To give a more concrete example:
The response (attached at the end) shows two different tags "Statistics", with two different values for the field meta/type (0 and 1) as well as two different numItems (2 and 1). However, their links (both self and alternate) are the same. I haven't found any info on this in the documentation, the Zotero schema or the mailing list.
Does anybody know exactly what this "type" field indicates and what is happening here? Thank you so much in advance!
Best,
Massimiliano
