Did you look at BIRD? It is one of the most beautiful open source BGP
speakers: http://bird.network.cz/

BIRD does not have anything like an restful API, but you can just
generate the config file and reload it on the fly to accomplish the
same.

Can you elaborate on what you mean with 'tags'? Could you use BGP
communities instead?

Kind regards,
