Add tags to an existing S3 object using the ruby AWS SDK

Question

AWS does let you add tags to an existing S3 bucket, using the console, or this http api for instance: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_PutObjectTagging.html

But rather than use the HTTP API directly, is there any way to use the ruby AWS SDK v3 to add (or remove?) tags to an existing S3 object?

I haven't been able to figure it out.

OK, answering my question, I eventually found a method on Aws::S3::Client

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-ruby/v3/api/Aws/S3/Client.html#put_object_tagging-instance_method

s3_client = Aws::S3::Client.new
s3_client.put_object_tagging({
                bucket: "bucket_name",
                key: "some/key.jpg",
                tagging: {
                  tag_set: [
                    {
                      key: "tag-name",
                      value: "tag value",
                    }
                  ]
                }
})

i was expecting there to be a method on Aws::S3::Bucket or Aws::S3::Object, but if there is I can't figure it out! But I have verified this one on Aws::S3::Client as working for me.
