You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Embedder and tags
I have a HTML page that offers a textbox in which the viewer can write certain keywords. After clicking ENTER, the images are loaded in iframes according to the keywords. My problem is: how do I write this is JS so that it can be integrated on a Dropbox Embedder app? Also, I did not find a way to know if I should tag all images in Dropbox or modify their metadata in advance? I expect that all images with same keyword are shown in page, inside their respective iframes.
Nikki_63, I don't know how to say more clear that Embedder shows exactly what passed as link and nothing else. You may use it in your galleey, but Embedder cannot organize such a galleey on its own! Yes, you may use something like the example you linked to (with or without Embedder).
PS: You may get familiar with Embedder while experimenting here.
Hello, thank you for your response! So, the tags I put on images in Dropbox will be considered "part of the image", so to speak? Sorry to ask such lame questions, I am a novice wanting to learn as much as possible.
Hm... 🤔 To be honest, I'm not certain what exactly you mean. Dropbox never changes any file in your account, so there is no way any tag or other property to become "part of the image" or any other file. Such things can be associated to a file and, of course, you may use them as criteria for file selection/filtering, but it's up to you particular link selection on any type of criteria (including tags).

I'm glad to see Здравко was already able to offer help here. For reference, the Dropbox Embedder documentation can be found here.
Hello. So I really can't parse images tags with Embedder, right?
Yes, with Dropbox Embedder you CANNOT parse anything but the expected Dropbox shared link URL.
If you want to see what tag(s) particular file has assigned and latter decide whether to select it or not (with its appropriate shared link when you use Embedder), you may use /2/files/tags/get API endpoint (or corresponding SDK methods).
Hope this clarifies matter.
