How to get Client lat/lng details using a python api
I have a python api that I am able to get Org/Network/Client general data. What I am trying to do is programmatically get is the distance between a client and wireless AP. We are currently having our site surveyed in preparation for a new Meraki network install. In talking with the surveyor, it was stated that we can get to 20 sq.ft. without triangulation and 5 sq.ft. with triangulation. I have been searching for documentation on how to get to this level of detail through an API. I can get the AP coordinates but not the devices attached to the AP.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

The scanning API provides client location services...
https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/scanning-api/#!introduction/scanning-api
You need a server to take the data stream, capacity depends on the volume of location data to be processed - about 6-7 years ago I remember using a Raspberry Pi to run a live device/heatmap for a demo at an event, it was ok up to a few hundred clients. There're also cloud-based services available that use this API to do much of the work for you.
Real-world accuracy is heavily dependent on the RF environment.
