Hey Aung, Question isn't exactly clear but perhaps this could help you out: https://apps.meraki.io/details/boundless-access-control

Good luck everybody! Looks like we can all just post here to farm kudos 😁

Hello There is no limit that I know of. Even if there is I'm sure its a lot more than 200 so go ahead 🙂

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

Meraki is aware of this and the API will return an error if you try to make a POST/PUT call into an organization where you don't have full access.

I made a course for API newbies if you wanna check it out: https://go.boundlessdigital.com/meraki-api-with-python-course/registration

Hmm you might be right, I came across a similar use case a long time ago and there was something about being able to access templates via network calls. Might be confusing two things though, will test on my side when I have time and report back

AutomationDude · ‎Feb 10 2022

I agree, it doesn't seem that hard to let us know what the possible return values for an API call are!

AutomationDude · ‎Feb 10 2022

Hey David, I believe you can simple use the normal API call for networks, as templates also have a network_id associated to them. https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!update-network

AutomationDude · ‎Feb 2 2022

Yep, it's the same shard for me thats causing issues. Doubt Meraki support can do anything about this, the problem is likely to be at a much deeper level.

Hey Raphael, Not 100% sure about the limit for this API call but I would guess its the same as the other client level endpoints, which is one month back.

AutomationDude · ‎Jan 28 2022

Thank you this is exactly what I was looking for!

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

Tita, I'm not really sure why you would want this on the dashboard, what is the idea behind putting this there?

AutomationDude · ‎Jan 25 2022

Hey Tita, Could you please elaborate what you mean by contract number? Is this to do with an order number, or the contract signed with a client you are managing?

AutomationDude · ‎Jan 25 2022

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 😊

AutomationDude · ‎Jan 24 2022

I'm running a script that loops through many orgs and it's quite clear that certain orgs on specific shards are experiencing a ton of latency. Most of the orgs however are doing just fine. It also seems to be specific API calls on specific orgs that are timing out.

AutomationDude · ‎Jan 21 2022

Wonder why it's happening to me then.. I'll investigate on my end. Cheers anyway though and have a nice weekend

AutomationDude · ‎Jan 21 2022

Are you guys seeing any errors again? Things still seem to timeout for me. Are you still using the API gateway or just making the calls directly to the shard now?

AutomationDude · ‎Jan 20 2022

@Martin_Rowan I also seem to be having major issues with the API. Lots of calls seem to be timing out and scripts that would normally run < 1 minute are taking 5+ minutes to complete. Wonder what the problem is but I doubt support has any answers 😄

AutomationDude · ‎Jan 13 2022

Hey @Jwiley78, if you're still having this problem then we do have a solution do it easily: https://www.boundlessdigital.com/product/boundless-access-control/

AutomationDude · ‎Nov 2 2021

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

AutomationDude · ‎Oct 6 2021

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!

AutomationDude · ‎Sep 24 2021

I hear what you're saying @PhilipDAth, but the daily course material is shared by email so asking this data and permission is necessary!

AutomationDude · ‎Sep 23 2021

Hello friends, I have created a free course to learn How to use the Meraki APIs. We try to help engineers automate things on Meraki and after many conversations I saw there is quite a knowledge gap in this area. People want to start scripting but often have no idea where to begin, especially when they don't have a background in computer science. This course starts from the absolute basics and walks you through everything you need to know if you want to leverage the APIs. At the end of the course we automate the provisioning of networks, but I'd love to hear what else you guys would like to accomplish with the APIs so I can make more tutorials 🙂
