What is the PHP api syntax for calling the tag_entities_get method on the EntityTag API class? Because it uses a non-standard naming convention, it seems to be unavailable to the civicrm_api method.

I need to generate a list of tags that are assigned to a group of contacts, so this is really the only way to get that information.

Thanks!

Why do you think it's non standard? Works like the others EntityTag.

Use civicrm/api/explorer to see what entities are available

Nope - tag_entities_get is api v2 - in api v3 the call is

civicrm_api('entity_tag','get',array('version' => 3);

http://api.civicrm.org/v3/CiviCRM_APIv3/API_EntityTag/_api---v3---EntityTag.php.html#functioncivicrm_api3_entity_tag_get

tag_entities get has actually been entirely removed from v3 on the basis it never worked via the api wrapper so we can be sure it's not in use in v3. However, I see the phpdoc hasn't been updated since 26 March so it's still in there.

Since the API docs aren't completely up to date, it might be better to explain the goal. I've implemented a auto completing tag-driven search via Joomla module in the frontend. Via tag_get, I can get the full list of tags. What I need is to only get the tags that have been assigned to members of a particular group. This would mean I'd need to be able to use EntityTag and provide a list of entity_ids for an WHERE.. IN query.
