We Have 2500+ networks - API call only sends back 1000 ? Yet its only 1 API call?

[AidanVenn]

Hi,

Simple script below.

I send a call I assume once. Therefore well within the limit? Yet only get the first 1000 networks yet we have 2500+.

Is this correct? Do I need to take a different approach?

Help appreciated.

thanks

Aidan

import requests
import json
import time
import datetime
# import system

now = datetime.datetime.now()

# Define variables
API_KEY = 'xxx'
MERAKI_URL = 'https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/'
ORG_KEY = 'xxx'
headers = {'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key': API_KEY}

def main(i=0):

# ************** GET the current list of networks

NETWORKS = '/organizations/' + ORG_KEY + '/networks'

NETWORK_list = requests.get(MERAKI_URL + NETWORKS, headers=headers)

print(NETWORK_list)

Hi Aidan,

Don't worry, this is normal expected behaviour from the API as there is a limit of 1000 for entries returned. This has been discussed a few times on the community before so here are some links for you to gain a better understanding and find a solution:

Essentially, you will need to make a 2nd and 3rd API call and define a new starting point in order to obtain all of the networks. Hope this helps!
