Are Deep Links deprecated in favour of URL in API responses?

[Martin_Rowan]

Is the method of deep linking described in: https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/build/deep-links/ still the correct way of doing it?
Or should/can we use the URL property that is included in the API responses:

e.g.

https://dashboard.meraki.com/api/v1/networks/{{networkId}}/devices

returns:

    {

        "lat": 37.4180951010362,

        "lng": -122.098531723022,

        "address": "",

        "serial": "Q2MD-Y5QK-LAK2",

        "mac": "e0:cb:bc:51:28:f2",

        "lanIp": null,

        "url": "https://n149.meraki.com/DNENT2-axxxxxxym/n/hvBc4avc/manage/nodes/new_list/247165642418418",

        "networkId": "L_646829496481107582",

        "tags": [],

        "model": "MR53",

        "firmware": "wireless-27-5-12",

        "floorPlanId": null

    }

Where the URL property appears to link directly to the device, without being redirected through api.meraki.com
