I am trying to get Networks Clients Usage, but not getting proper data to match with meraki. Any API

[Kausik]

i am calling a curl to "https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/<networkID>/clients/<clientID>/trafficHistory?startingAfter=1...

and i am getting return as below and i found that the timestamp(ts) returns in only hour "2020-01-01 12:00:00" format but not in the minutes or seconds. Please let me know on this to get proper result or is there any other way to get  APIs to make a graph about traffic-flow by time?. Please find the attached screenshot also.

Hello @Kausik 

The Traffic Analysis gives the Applications / Website information for a client overall. But the dashboard does not store all the specific flows for all the websites visited. It only stores the flows that are visited in the past hour/day/week/month. 

If you would like to track each flow and need specific timestamp with hour/second information, Syslog server should be way to go.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello @Seshu 

Thanks for your response. Would you mind to explain me the purpose and use of "activeSeconds" field in API return.

How long was that session/flow active for

[plumpyfoo]

@Seshu , you mention the dashboard only displays the last "hour/day/week/month", but every time I run trafficHistory, it's never giving me the hour.  I always returns midnight.  Is there a way to make a call to trafficHistory so it returns the traffic in the last hour only?

@plumpyfoo No, unable to resolved it yet. I just added the activeSeconds with ts, but I know this is not the solution. Due to this addition some cases we are getting future timestamps.
