You're setting devices to just one device's name, then setting choices to devices.   So you only get that one choice.   You need to give choices a list.   I'm in an airport sipping champagne at the moment and haven't ever used the inquirer library, but from a quick look you probably need to do something more like...       response = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizationInventoryDevices(organization_id, total_pages='all') SortedListOfDevices = sorted(response, key=lambda d: d['mac'] if d['name'] is None else d['name']) device_type = "MS" devices = [] for item in SortedListOfDevices: name = item['mac'] if item['name'] is None else item['name'] if device_type in item['model']: print(name) devices.append(name) questions = [ inquirer.List('inventory', message = "Pick your switch: ", choices = devices, ), ] answers = inquirer.prompt(questions) print (answers["inventory"])       Note that you were testing for name "", which will never happen and you would be adding any None names to the list, I added a bit to default a None name to the MAC. ...

Not that I'm aware of, it'd be easy to evade by anyone able to edit the Python script, but it would be a good feature, you could make a wish for it.   Other ideas...   Create a script that takes the OpenAPI spec and creates an alternate library, say 'meraki_gets', that has function in it, and passes through all the functions starting 'get' to the real library, while replacing all the others with functions that do nothing.   Simpler would be nobble the Meraki library itself, filtering the endpoint url in the request function in rest_session.py - I've sometimes made changes to rest_session.py to work around API/library bugs, just need to remember to keep the changes after library updates! Need to do it in both async and sync versions. ... View more

How many devices in your org?   https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-organization-devices-statuses/ is paged, by default you'll get just one page with the first 1,000 devices.   Why not use the Meraki Python library? It'll handle pagination for you, then you can add total_pages="all" to get all the pages.   As you only want wireless devices, I'd set productTypes array to "wireless" so that you don't need to filter results on "MR" in the model name.   You are also filtering on "online", that excludes devices with "alerting" status, which is effectively "online but there's a problem", again you can filter on a set of statuses when you make the call to avoid returning unwanted devices. ...

It sounds like there is something fundamental wrong.   We've used the API for many years across many organizations, whilst there are some calls that have issues, aside from transient errors which are to be expected, the Meraki API is pretty reliable.   I suggest explain what you mean by "hundreds of APIs that are failing ", which endpoints? which errors? ...

Any/short/long press, can each be used to trigger an automation.   You build button automations in Dashboard via Sensors->Automations     An automation can trigger one or more actions, currently the choices are...   Send a Notification Stay informed with a custom notification over SMS or e-mail   Camera snapshot Take and send a camera snapshot from your MV cameras and never miss a moment   Toggle SSID Control internet access by turning a Meraki network SSID on or off   Toggle Switchport Toggle any Meraki switchport and adjust your network to real-time feedback   Send a Webhook command Tap into thousands of smart automations by setting up a custom Webhook integration   There's an example here of chaining together different things to take a snapshot from an MV camera and send the picture or the video to a Webex Teams Space... https://github.com/gve-sw/gve_devnet_meraki_button_snapshot?tab=readme-ov-file   ...

The documentation shows a successful response returns data, with elements not present in the request.   The created user ID for instance - which I think is required by other calls, for instance to delete the user.   If the call isn't returning that data, it's a clear error. ... View more

This is a user forum, your post reads like it's addressed to Meraki, imo it's unlikely anyone at Meraki will investigate specifics based on a posting here.   As the response is 201 with no data, it conflicts with the API documentation. The best thing will be open a support case (via Dashboard) detailing call parameters and the problem with the endpoint intermittently giving a response that doesn't match documentation. ...

If you want to use MT devices 24x7 they must have at least one live gateway MR/MV device in range 24x7, so you need your physical+logical network design to meet that requirement i.e. if you want to power down switches etc., they can't be the ones in the sensor-Dashboard communication path.   The automations you mention are two distinct topics...   i) can you control MT40 downstream power via the API?   Yes, using these... https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/create-device-sensor-command/ https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-device-sensor-command/   For just APs, you can also control PoE via the API.   ii) you need somewhere you can receive a webhook from the MT30 to trigger i)   This is the part you need to develop, host and secure.   Bear in mind, the button is stateless, i.e. you can use it as an on/off switch, but unless you can independently determine the current power state, you cannot predict whether pressing the button will turn things 'on' or 'off'.   A simple workaround would be to use two buttons, one for 'on', one for 'off', though this still leaves the actual pre-press state unknown without independent verification.   Of course if the button is 'local' to the switches, then the verification issue goes away and you could use one button, but then why not just use a power switch.   Also, I'd want a protective cover for the button(s), things get pressed by mistake, it's only a matter of time 🙂   ...

Yes it's about my least favourite too.   I guess using array of dict just reflects the variation in elements for each event type, though some event types are not even consistent in the elements they contain.   Presumably the reverse pagination is intended to return the most recent events first, but I'd much rather be able to set start/end time period, overall the API is inconsistent in this sort of thing.   On the plus side, it's better than another orchestrator that I work with, which has a nasty habit of spontaneously generating millions of spurious events, one instance returned over 6GB of nonsense events last month, it makes even getNetworkEvents look good  😀 ...

This call is one I have had multiple issues with, it may have improved since I last dug into it, in which case the following may not be up to date.   See https://community.meraki.com/t5/Developers-APIs/Events-same-event-different-API-return-also-call-never-returns/m-p/182558   a) The API service itself was not complying with the documented pagination rules, I had a frustrating time with support to get this accepted, but eventually it was fixed.   b) I'm not sure the separate issue with the Meraki Python library was ever fixed (I reported it on github but the issue was closed without it being fixed at that point, so I gave up trying), fwiw I still patch the library myself with the fix in the thread I linked just in case an eventless return still hangs the library call.   c) I had to specify total_pages="all" to get all events, the documentation doesn't mention it, it's possible this was a side effect of the other issues, but I still add this when using the call, it doesn't hurt 🙂   For instance... response = await aiomeraki.networks.getNetworkEvents(net['id'], productType="appliance", includedEventTypes = ["nbar_block", "cf_block", "sf_url_block", "sf_binary_block"], perPage=1000, total_pages="all")   That aside, a few comments about usage...   You do need to check the return for a non-null "message" element   If there's a message then there are no events.   The possible messages are not documented, an example of a real message is...   "message": "No matching events found between Dec 27 19:13 and Jan 27 19:13."   I use the occurredAt element to filter returned events to just the period I'm interested in.   I mainly use getNetworkEvents to get appliance security events (i.e. the *_block events), but not all security event types are returned by this call.   The other appliance security event types must be obtained with the getNetworkApplianceSecurityEvents call.   ...

I agree with both posts by @PhilipDAth    There are definitely some timing factors with admin changes syncing between different orgs/shards, I remember one time I had to open a case and get Meraki support to fix whatever went wrong when a series of multi-org changes seemed to get tangled up and deadlock. But adding a long delay between changes with large numbers of orgs isn't really practical.   I agree the way to go is SAML.   ... View more

As @RaphaelL says, check that lanIp is present. The API is not consistent in how missing/undefined elements are handled in response data. The element may not be there at all, or it may have Null value. Often elements are context dependent. It's not documented, so you need to code defensively to cope with these situations. I've not tested this specific call, but I'd guess that if an AP exists but has not yet been assigned an IP (either static or dynamic), perhaps the lanIp is simply left out of the response. I.e. an AP that is in inventory and assigned to a network, but it has not yet been plugged in. Btw when posting code, it helps if you use the formatting option "Insert/Edit code sample", as without the indentation Python scripts can be ambiguous/invalid/hard to read. ... View more
