Hello Everyone,
We have Meraki deployed in some for across all of our locations and slowly moving to full stack at all locations... I love everything I can do with Meraki but with that said I'm ready to take things to the next level … Enter API's.... I'm looking for advice where to start and get a crash course in there integration with Meraki and what all I can do.
Solved! Go to solution.
Perhaps try the "Getting started with Meraki" learning modules.

If you want to level up, it's Python you are going to need to concentrate on.
The general resources for developers are located here:

If you want a quick feeling of success, scroll down to "How does the Python SDK work?" on that page and follow those steps.

Just to add to Philip's response, here's a simple self-paced lab that takes you through step by step and uses Postman to make some GET/PUT/POST commands and you'll get a really good feel for the Dashboard API in just an hour or two. https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/build/meraki-postman-collection-getting-started/
Yeah definitely postman and then python.
Have a look at this write-up I made not so long ago:

Hi,
Best practice for me was just create a small organisation for yourself.. Add some devices to it..(just claim devices) . After 30 days , unclaim and add the device (or you can make a script which does that)
Think of what you want to achieve and just start programming in python which is a very easy language to master... Just like the good ole BASIC.
Postman is good for simple API commonds, but not suitable for making batch and check/loops etc. Once you are familiar in Python and Meraki API, you never use the postman program, only the Postman/Meraki API guide

Basic start with Meraki API is :
