Organizations -> Devices Length Limit for URI?

[Chris-Bergin]

The /organizations/:organizationId/devices endpoint provides a number of parameters.  I'd like to use this endpoint to request a certain set of devices by passing a list of serial numbers.

What is the URI length limit so that I can detect when I've got too many to pass in a single call and split the list up into multiple calls?

The URI length limit is not explicitly stated in the Meraki API documentation, but the Meraki API is set to allow 10 API calls every second.

Hi ,

Without knowing the end goal , it would probably be faster and more efficient to get All the devices without filtering , and do the filtering of the data in python ( or whatever language you are using )

[Chris-Bergin]

That's what I'm doing now.  It seemed wasteful to return everything when I know that I will only retain about 1/3 of them, but if I would have to make 20 API calls to get just the ones that I want, that would definitely be slower.  I was hoping that maybe Meraki had a sufficiently generous URI limit to keep it to just a couple calls at most.

This is the API (for anyone else interested):

I don't know the URI maximum length, but I would be tempted to create batches of (say) 10 serial numbers at a time - and request a "batch full".

I have a script that uses this API (a couple variations). Free to nab.
