unable to use getOrganizationInventoryDevices.serial(organization_id) to get device serials

[CDavison]

Hi All

About 6 months ago I used the following short python script to get a list of all the serials in my organisation - this was then used as input to make some DNS changes on the devices - which worked great.

So 6 months down the line - I need to do the change again as part of a DC migration so I came back to my trusty scripts, however I'm finding that the syntax I used doesnt work anymore. I've updated the python meraki package, but it looks like the function itself has changed - I can't find any supporting documentation that suggests this however - so am at a bit of a loss. I'd appreciate any ideas on this one

Script sample:

import meraki

dashboard = meraki.DashboardAPI(api_key="************************************")

organization_id = '******'

result = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizationInventoryDevices.serial(organization_id)

print(result)

This when piped to a text file gave me a list of all my serials, now when I run it - I get the error:

AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'serial'

Anyone know what's changed?

Thanks in advance

Hi ,

Have you tried removing the .serial from the line result = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizationInventoryDevices.serial(organization_id)

Hi, 

Yes and that works - but it then provides me with all the device information, when all I want is the serials

I'm not sure why it's changed as it worked 6 months ago, I mean if I have to write a foreach loop to extract them all out - then I will, just seems like a PITA tbh.

Thanks

That should never have worked.  I would expect you would need to loop through the output of getOrganizationInventoryDevices() and print out the serial number field of each device.

Untested, but something more like:

for device in dashboard.organizations.getOrganizationInventoryDevices(organization_id,total_pages='all'):

  print(device['serial'])
