  • As per this post of stack overflow Tagging/Mentioning Pages or Users in Posts via Graph Api

    I come to know that you cannot tag user via API.

    You can't tag people on a feed using the Graph API, you have to use Open Graph concepts- Mention Tagging/ Action Tagging (based on your requirement)
