Multiple API calls using data from 1st call...

[sambo]

Hi,

I'm using this API call using python:

import requests
import json

url = "https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations"

payload={}
headers = {
'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key': 'xxxxxxxxxx

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

r = json.loads(response.text)

for organizations in r:
print(organizations['name'] + ' ' + organizations['id'])

The output is what I'm looking for.

What I need to do now is to be able to use the organization id to then call all the networks in each org:

eg.....

API CALL 1....url = "https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations"

(THIS WILL PRINT OUT ALL ORGS I HAVE ACCESS TO)

Then use these ID's in the next calls until no ID's are left...

API CALL 2....url = "https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/123/networks?organizationId=123"

API CALL 3....url = "https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/123/networks?organizationId=1234"

API CALL 4....url = "https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/123/networks?organizationId=12345"

If anyone has any advise or a script they have used that would be great.

Thanks

Sam

If you use the Meraki Dashboard API library:

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/ 

Then you can use some code like this:

	# Search for the org
	orgs = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizations()
	for org in orgs:
		if org['name'] == orgName:
			orgId=org['id']
			break;

	if orgId == None:
		print("Invalid organization name supplied: "+orgName)			
		exit(-1)

If I run this after the 1st API call it fails:

url = "https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations"

orgs = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizations()
NameError: name 'dashboard' is not defined

I'm just not sure how to link the API query with this and then use it for the 2nd query.

Thanks

Hi,

First create a session like :

dashboard       = meraki.DashboardAPI(api_key)

my_org = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizations()

for org in my_org:

        org_id = org['id']

        print(org['name'])

[sambo]

If this is the script that calls the ORG names:

#SCRIPT THAT CALLS THE ORGS THEN ONLY PRINTS THE ORG NAME ONLY
import requests
import json

url = "https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations"

payload={}
headers = {
'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key': 'xxxx'
}

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

r = json.loads(response.text)

for organizations in r:
print(organizations['name'])

Where does the create session from below get inserted?

First create a session like :

dashboard       = meraki.DashboardAPI(api_key)

my_org = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizations()

for org in my_org:

        org_id = org['id']

        print(org['name'])

@sambo the suggestions above are correct and rely on installing and using the Python SDK.

Please read the Python SDK readme for instructions: https://github.com/meraki/dashboard-api-python

I'm reading and learning now, Thanks!
