Location analytics/Organization alerts missing from API

Hi, I am pulling data from the Meraki API to display differently.

I am encountering some difficulties in locating the API call for location analytics that can be found in the Organization -> Location Analytics.

I'm not sure if this call is there, i would appreciate any pointers. 🙂

Kind of a big deal

The data on the page are not available through the Dashboard API.

 

Options I can think of:

 

a - Look at the page source and create a script to extract the information from the web page or from the CSV links. But if the page design changes, it may break your script.

 

b - Use the scanning API to get the real-time data used to generate the presence data - this is how many analytics applications work. If there are a lot of wireless clients there's a lot of data!

c - Use a third-party service to do b) for you.
