Nevermind, I just had to update my SDK. Excuse my stupidity.

Hey @JasonM, I did try that as well, but it results in the following error: TypeError: unbindNetwork() got an unexpected keyword argument 'retainConfigs' Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

Hey guys, Trying to use this API call: https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!unbind-network Need some guidance on how to include the optional retainConfigs: true boolean. I've tried a variety of different formats, all of which are leading to different errors. I'm sure there's a correct way to enter this, I just have no idea what it is. Here is what I'm currently working with: dashboard.networks.unbindNetwork( network_id, { "retainConfigs": True } ) If someone who's used optional params before could offer some guidance on the correct syntax for this API call, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, I assume you just want to add the rules on top of what you already have. If that is the case, you could try within your script to read the current rules via API, add your rules on top, and then putt the joint the data back via the API call you're using. Not ideal but seems to be the way to do what you want

Thank you all for your input, gonna take this to the drawing board.

Hello guys, Trying to solve a a problem that shouldn't be solved with APIs by using APIs. Was wondering if you have any input. I have a customer that wants to be alerted every time any of their networks (all with different ISPs) goes to an extremely low download speed below a certain threshold. There is the internal dashboard tool to view speed and of course speed test websites, but there isn't a direct API endpoint for speed. I am going to try to use this one to infer if the speed is too slow however: https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-latest/#!get-device-live-tools-ping Is this a reasonable approach? Let me know if anything else comes to mind 🙂

Hello Mike, There are two approaches I can think of here: - Use an external Guest Wifi provider that has more sophisticated scheduling settings. Would be set and forget. - Write an API script that is hosted in the cloud and automatically does this every Friday. Would also be set and forget. You can send me a message if you need some assistance as my company can help with both.

@PhilipDAth deserves to become the CEO of Meraki at this point

https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Licensing/Meraki_Per-Device_Licensing_Overview You should be good to go, just review this documentation which mentions you can't have more than 50000 1 Day licenses. So ensure the customer has less than 555 APs

Hmm, not sure what you're missing here since you've got all the data. Could you try rephrasing the use case or the issue?

Hey @KRobert, you're welcome! I've never written anything for exactly what you described but did have this video that creates new networks from a csv file: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jbb3sxcxQ0A&t=312s&ab_channel=BoundlessDigital I'm guessing you were having some trouble working with variables that were read from the csv so this should hopefully give you some insights that move you in the right direction. Best of luck!

Hello good sir, I recorded a video that explains exactly how to do this for the API course I made. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfTtEUotXCI&t=125s&ab_channel=BoundlessDigital

Hi @Kiki , the post above is the truth. I can however sympathise with you. Considering what you shared from the documentation, it doesn't seem very clear.

Hey @lawrie, the license is what keeps the devices running. If you want the clients to be able to connect, you will need an active license. Your configurations on the dashboard will not be lost however. Meraki will give you a 30 day grace period after the license expires, after which everything will stop working. Get new licenses if you'd like to keep things running. I believe you can acquire them easily from an online store like Rhino Networks.

Hey Tiro, There are scripts for updating SSIDs as shared by Roman. I've also made a video tutorial if you want to see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=588QxqAWKP4&t=84s If you talk about automating this update though, that will require hosting the script on something like AWS and makes things a bit more complicated.

Hello, I'm looking to unbind hundreds of networks from a template for a client. Meraki has recently introduced functionality to be able to retain configurations for a network after you unbind. This is obviously great but it seems like this option isn't available when unbinding using the API. I tried unbinding a network with the API and it automatically assumes I don't want to keep the configs. Would it be possible to add a "keep config" attribute? This would really make the endpoint much more useful Thoughts/Suggestions on any other way I can go about this would be appreciated

This API call should definitely return the firmware version if there is an active firmware running on the dashboard. I'd guess its a problem exclusive to the sensors. I know some of the API integrations with sensors are relatively new so maybe they just missed something.

@Inderdeep @KarstenI I guess you guys are still experiencing winter wherever you are 😁

AutomationDude · ‎Apr 4 2022

I just want the cap if I'm being honest

AutomationDude · ‎Mar 14 2022

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

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

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 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!
