Is there a way to request a build via REST API for a particular tag? I can see that I can send use https://www.appveyor.com/docs/api/projects-builds/#start-build-of-specific-branch-commit , but is there a way to use the tag directly?

Thanks,

   Yes, that's possible: https://help.appveyor.com/discussions/questions/45369-is-to-possibl...

   Additionally, you can check if MY_RELEASE_TAG is defined, for example:

   install:
   - IF DEFINED MY_RELEASE_TAG git fetch --tags
   - IF DEFINED MY_RELEASE_TAG git checkout tags/%MY_RELEASE_TAG%
