Python SDK HTTP Proxy Setting

[jpark5591]

I'm doing some basic testing with the Python meraki-sdk v1.0.2.   The connection to api.meraki.com goes thru an HTTP proxy.  Does anyone in the community know how HTTP proxy is configured in the SDK?

I don't know about the SDK but I'm using this : 

import os

proxy = 'proxyURL'

os.environ['http_proxy'] = proxy
os.environ['HTTP_PROXY'] = proxy
os.environ['https_proxy'] = proxy
os.environ['HTTPS_PROXY'] = proxy

works like a charm.

Thank you.  That was the solution.

Hi,
I'm not sure what you mean by a proxy with the SDK, but I will give you some context.

The API default base URL is https://api.meraki.com/api/v0

This path will be redirected to the actual home domain of your Meraki organization. 

For example, when I go to https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/organizations, this will actually be redirected to

https://n143.meraki.com/api/v0/organizations

With the SDK, it will naturally use the default base URL,  but you have the option to override this. I often do this when I want to manually proxy the request through my own API dev server or if I want to skip the redirect because it could cause issues.

To do this, simply update the configuration for the base URL when you initialize the SDK.

from meraki_sdk.meraki_sdk_client import MerakiSdkClient
from meraki_sdk.exceptions.api_exception import APIException

MerakiSdkClient.config.x_cisco_meraki_api_key = '<API-KEY>'

# Override default Meraki API Base URL
MerakiSdkClient.config.base_uri = "https://n143.meraki.com/api/v0"

client = MerakiSdkClient()

organizations_controller = client.organizations
try:
    result = organizations_controller.get_organizations()
    print(result)
except APIException as e:
    print(e)

Hope this helps!
