Reccomandation regarding proggraming language to use and it's limitations

[RaresPauna]

Hello, me and my team will start working on an application that will require concurrent api calls. Until now , i was doing this in python, using the meraki library with it's async package. Now it's discussed if we could do this using javascript, as the rest of the programmers are not familiar with python. Is there any meraki package for node, and if yes, is it as good as the python one ?

There's an old Meraki node package on github, but it hasn't been updated for years, there is also a Typescript one, updated last year which might be a starting point, you can see a full list here...

There's also https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/meraki-dashboard-api-node-red-node/introduction/

As good as the Python library? Not really due to the lack of updates.

Is Python really an issue? Imo it's not a steep learning curve from Javascript and you have the benefit of the Meraki-maintained library.

You are right, adapting from javascript to python is pretty easy. I think it would be beneficial to use the library for api calls instead of regular http calls in javascript where we would lack all the parameters the library offers
