Export Maps from Dashboard into a .gif (or similar)

The Why: Now that wireless itself if a platform, we are working to get a safety locationing application using the Cisco APs to Blutooth beacon. 

What We Need: To export all our maps with the location of the APs.

I will start looking around in the APIs, but has this been done before. Using the snipping tool map by map floor by floor seems -- not so great.

Totally open so suggestions. Thinking about giving the 3rd party vendor access to the platform, too.

Question: How to do this, or what's the smart way?

Thanks!

I've never tried it and don't want to need to, but you can try these two APIs.

 

GET /organizations/{organizationId}/floorPlans → retrieves all floor plans.
GET /networks/{networkId}/devices → retrieves device info, including location.

 

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-organization-floor-plans-auto-locate-devices/


You can combine these to build a structured export (JSON or CSV) for your vendor.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.
