Get Networks and Only print certain fields

[eroche]

Hi All

Looks to pull all my networks but only want the id and name to be printed. Here is what I have:

import meraki
from pprint import pprint

# Defining your API key as a variable in source code is discouraged.
# This API key is for a read-only docs-specific environment.
# In your own code, use an environment variable as shown under the Usage section
# @ https://github.com/meraki/dashboard-api-python/

API_KEY = ''

dashboard = meraki.DashboardAPI(API_KEY, suppress_logging=True)

organization_id = ''

response = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizationNetworks(
organization_id, total_pages='all'
)

fields = [id, name]

for field in fields:
pprint (f"{field}: {response[field]}")

Suggestions...keep getting error about the fields = [id, name]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/mnt/m2ssd/python/meraki_get_network_id.py", line 19, in <module>
fields = [id, name]
^^^^
NameError: name 'name' is not defined

The error you’re seeing is because id and name are not defined as strings in your list. In Python, strings should be enclosed in quotes.

fields = ['id', 'name']

ok so when I do that I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/mnt/m2ssd/python/meraki_get_network_id.py", line 22, in <module>
pprint (f"{field}: {response[field]}")
~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

[alemabrahao]

In Python, lists can only be indexed by integers or slices, not strings.

for item in response:
  for field in fields:
pprint(f"{field}: {item[field]}")

[eroche]

fields = ['id', 'name']
for item in response:
    for field in fields:
         pprint (f"{field}: {response[field]}")

It wanted the pprint indented to here but still have this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/mnt/m2ssd/python/meraki_get_network_id.py", line 22, in <module>
pprint (f"{field}: {response[field]}")
~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

Don't change the value in RED.

fields = ['id', 'name']
for item in response:
for field in fields:
pprint(f"{field}: {item[field]}")

Try this starter code and change it any way you want. It displays your network name and ID.
