Hullo!

I'm a very big fan of Meraki, I've made implementations of MX, MR and MS.

I'm here to learn from all of you and specialize in API dev

Kind of a big deal

Welcome to the community!

 

My advice to learn the API would be:

  • Start out with postman so you get a feel for how to use the endpoints, what information you can get and what information you need to provide. This should help you out: https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/build/meraki-postman-collection-getting-started/
  • After that, I'd recommend to look into pycharm and start doing the same things you've been doing in postman with Python. Here's a few of the steps to get going:
