get full org inventory with curl api

I am trying to pull a full inventory using curl I am only getting 1000 of 2750 devices in our inventory. I am completely new to scripting and API.

 

Here is what I am doing so far...

/usr/bin/curl -L -H 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key: [API KEY]' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X GET 'https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/[org id[/inventoryDevices' | jq ".[] | [.serial, .mac, .model, .orderNumber, .claimedAt] | @CSV" | sed -e 's/"//g' | tr -d '\\' > test.csv

 

I am getting all of the values of each line, but it stops at 1000. How do I get the full inventory?

In the documentation, you'll see that it returns 1000 entries "per page".

On the first call you'll get a token (sorry, not sure what it is in the header, but take a look) and then you call it again with the startingAfter parameter, and you get the next 1,000 entries.  Repeat until you have everything.

 

This will be a bit manual to do with curl ... Python would be a better bet.  The Python SDK does the pagination for you so you can ignore this.

Thanks for the reply. I planned to learn python. I thought this would be a quick ash script. Not turning out that way. lol When I run the

 

/usr/bin/curl -L -H 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key: [key]' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X GET 'https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/[org ID]/inventoryDevices?perPage=1000&startingAfter=0;rel=first' > curl-test

 

I just get the data in json format. There is no header info with any tokens.
