Using Switch Port Profiles via the API.

[mrpackethead_]

So, i have figureed out how to create a switchPortProfile ( and delete it ).   However, now i'm trying to figure out how you apply this profile to a port...  Which api provides that?

def switchPortProfile(api_key: str, request_type, action, PhysicalResourceId):
    """
    Manage Network Level Switch port configurations.  This is an early API 
    This does not attempt to verify the payload. That should be done earlier.
    """

    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Accept": "application/json"
    }

    network_id = action['Parameters']['networkId']

    match request_type:

        case "Create":

            url = f"https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/networks/{network_id}/switch/ports/profiles"

            response = requests.post(
                url=url,
                headers=headers,
                json=action['Parameters']['policy']
            )
            
            response.raise_for_status()  # Raise an exception for bad status codes
            
            return { 
                'PhysicalResourceId': response['profileId'], 
                'Data': {
                    'accessPolicyNumber': response['accessPolicyNumber'] 
                }
            }
            
        case "Update":

            url = f"https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/networks/{network_id}/switch/ports/profiles/{PhysicalResourceId}"

            response = requests.put(
                url=url,
                headers=headers,
                json=action['Parameters']['policy']
            )
            
            response.raise_for_status()  # Raise an exception for bad status codes

        case "Delete":

            url = f"https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/networks/{network_id}/switch/ports/profiles/{PhysicalResourceId}"

            response = requests.delete(
                url=url,
                headers=headers
            )

            response.raise_for_status()  # Raise an exception for bad status codes

You can enable them with this API call: https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/update-device-switch-port/

I missed the profile property after looking at this too many times.    Any idea what an Iname is??

profile:
object
Profile attributes

id:
string
When enabled, the ID of the port profile used to override the port's configuration.

iname:
string
When enabled, the IName of the profile.

enabled:
boolean
When enabled, override this port's configuration with a port profile.

I would guess the profiles name in the GUI but I don't know for certain and have not used the feature yet to test myself
