Hey @DevK , Network level endpoints only work for networks and org level endpoints only work for orgs. Unfortunately there isn't a direct way to get what you're looking for but fortunately, there is a relatively simple way. It's called loops.   Im not sure if loops are possible in Postman but you should definitely look into using Python if aren't already.   Here's the concept I'm talking about:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94UHCEmprCY   Here's a free course I made specifically for Meraki APIs that includes examples of this: https://go.boundlessdigital.com/meraki-api-with-python-course/registration   ...

Can you claim licenses via API for Coterm orgs?

by AutomationDude in Developers & APIs

‎01-26-2022 02:51 AM
 Hello all,   I am trying to write a script but want to ask if this is possible before I mess around with any misplaced licenses.    I know that the following call does not work for coterm orgs and is only applicable to PDL:   https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-organization-licenses   I'm guessing that the update counterpart of this API call that allows you to claim licenses also doesn't work for coterm. Can anyone confirm my hypothesis?   https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!update-organization-license   Is there also any other way to license info for coterm orgs? There is the call below which works but doesn't give much.   https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-organization-licenses-overview   Thank you     ... View more

There is no inherent backup possibility within the dashboard. I'm very sure however that you are at no risk of losing your configurations by upgrading the firmware, so I really wouldn't worry about it  😊 ... View more

They do have some APIs for managing firmwares: https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!update-network-firmware-upgrades   Sadly they seem to be acting at the network level so you probably wouldn't be able to stage exact devices but you might be able to stage the different networks and types of devices. Not sure if this helps but it might be possible to build something custom which might meet most of your use case ... View more

Hey Basvan,   We have also experienced this from time to time. To answer your questions, I guess Meraki does need to improve this on their side but since it works more than 99% of the time it's safe to say they are doing a decent job, it's pretty much impossible to guarantee 100%. I don't reckon there's much you can do on your side to fix the issue, but maybe you could set up better error handling within your code for these types of situations so you can retry the call until you get the data you need. Good luck! ... View more
