WP API: Get posts excluding those with a tag or category name

I know from this post that I can get posts by tag name by just specifying a filter[tag] query parameter. And similarly with filter[category_name].

Is there a way to get posts that are not in a list of tags or categories for the purpose of excluding posts? I would prefer to do it with the name, or else I would have to make another request just to get the ID of the category, which would just slow down my overall response time in my app.
