REST API – assign new tags

Hi,

Is there a way to use the REST API in a way that I could assign new tags to a product without needing to first collect all existing tags into an array?

Im asking because i tried to do the code bellow and all existing product tags have been removed and the product was left only with the one that I added with the code:

$tags[] = array(‘id’ => 13);

$data = [
‘tags’ => $tags,
];

$woocommerce->put(‘products/’ . $productId, $data);
