API Port Traffic

[AnJoly06]

Hello,

For reporting automation purpose, I am trying to fetch the data from the Meraki API.

I would like to get the values that is used to plot the graph visible on a switch, for a specific port. On the dashboard it is labelled as "Historical Data / Port Traffic".

Looking at the Network tab of the inspector of elements, it use the values from the "/manage/nodes/show_switchport_graph_data" endpoints for the dashboard.

However, for the API I have been using the "https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/networks/{networkId}/clients/{clientId}/usageHistory" but the data doesn't seems to correlate.

Do you have any idea on what API route I have to use to get the kpbs values shown on the dashboard ?

Thank you.

To give more details to my question, I am trying to fetch the information for this graph:

I believe for a switch port you would need to use this API:
https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-device-switch-ports-statuses-packets/

Hello,

Thank you for your answer! 😊

I don't think it is what I am looking for.
I would like to get the daily port traffic on a specific port on a monthly timespan.

Unfortunately, there is no API available for this.

The “/networks/{networkId}/clients/{clientId}/usageHistory” endpoint you are using provides usage history per client, which does not directly correlate with the port traffic data shown in the dashboard.

Thank you for your answer.
Do you know if there's a way to ask that feature in the API ?
