# osu! Beatmap Tags

Community-voted [user tags](https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/en/Beatmap/Beatmap_tags#user-tags) for osu! beatmaps, scraped from the [osu! API v2](https://osu.ppy.sh/docs/index.html). The dataset covers all four game modes (osu!, osu!taiko, osu!catch, osu!mania) and includes beatmap metadata alongside tag vote counts.

## Dataset Contents

The dataset consists of two CSV files:

### `tags.csv`

One row per beatmap. Contains the vote count for each of the 122 user tags. Beatmaps without tags are not included. Tags are sorted from the most common to the least common.

- **Rows:** 44,795 beatmaps
- **Columns:** `beatmapset_id` + 122 tag columns
- **Values:** Integer vote counts (empty = not returned from API)

Tag columns follow the `category/name` naming convention used by osu!, e.g. `skillset/jumps`, `streams/bursts`, `style/clean`.

Statistics:

| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Total beatmaps | 44,795 |
| Total tags | 128,558 |
| Total votes | 471,766 |

### `metadata.csv`

One row per beatmap. Contains beatmap metadata fetched from the [osu! API v1](https://github.com/ppy/osu-api/wiki#apiget_beatmaps).

- **Rows:** 217,217 difficulties across 56,035 beatmapsets
- **Columns:** 42 fields including difficulty settings, song info, play statistics, and more

## Notes

- Tags are only available for beatmaps that have been played in osu!lazer; older or less popular maps may have few or no votes
- The tag system launched in March 2025, so vote counts reflect early adoption
- Mapper tags (free-form keywords in the `tags` column of `metadata.csv`) are separate from the structured user tags in `tags.csv`
