Meraki

Currently, for a use-case of creating new organizations - API keys would make more sense. Configuration changes, compliance, monitoring - these can be achieved with OAuth. As long as the OAuth refresh token is used at least once every 90 days - the integration will last indefinitely (unless an admin revokes it). https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/oauth-overview/

Oren · ‎Jul 14 2025

Creation of networks - yes. Creation of new organizations - no. OAuth follows the principles of zero trust, and if it could create a new organization where it will have full admin rights - it would be considered privilege escalation. What are you trying to achieve?

Oren · ‎Jul 11 2025

Yes. https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/deprecated-operations/ We will get this page to be linked to the deprecation banner, so people won’t need to find it themselves.

In Postman, I made an API call with perPage=3 to ensure I have pagination. In the response HEADERS, you will find the "links" value. The "rel=next" is the attribute that will get you the next "page". <https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/537758/networks?perPage=3&startingAfter=L_64682949648109888>; rel=next You'll notice the URL is the same, except for the startingAfter value.

Hi Jamie, There is an internal feature request for making roaming analytics data available via our public API. If you can ask your Cisco account team to add their vote and your details to the request - it would help prioritizing it sooner rather than later.

The roaming analysis page in Dashboard would show you that information. Regardless to the results, I’d recommend disabling 2.4GHz. It should be enabled on a dedicated SSID only so 5GHz clients won’t even try to connect to it. Once upon a time I wrote this script to prove a point. It should still work.

This looks like an Ansible playbook for Zabbix. We support the Meraki Ansible collection. I assume the Zabbix community supports the Zabbix Ansible collection. That said, you can use the API analytics page and download the API call log (preferably shortly after an attempt to run this playbook). If the 400 error is coming from Meraki (and not Zabbix) - you'll be able to see the API call being made and probably find the reason it gets a 400 response back. If you don't see the API call in the log, the 400 error might be coming from somewhere else, before an API call is made to Meraki.

Hi Kiran, Have you tried getNetworkApplianceFirewallL3FirewallRules?

Oren · ‎Jun 10 2025

The URL does not look right. Did you find it in our API documentation? I'd try createDeviceLiveToolsPing

Oren · ‎May 30 2025

Thanks. Do you mind marking the thumb down icon and share the expected result, so the team can look into the thought process there? (we're not getting replaced just yet 😉)

Oren · ‎May 30 2025

Out of curiosity, would you mind asking the AI-powered search in the documentation page how you might achieve this? I wonder how you’d prompt it, and what would the response to that prompt be.

getOrganizationDevices with productTypes[]=appliance will get you a list of the MXs in the organization. Iterating over them, you can use updateDevice to add a tag.

Oren · ‎May 26 2025

Kindly contact your Cisco account team and ask them to submit a feature request. That way it would be formally documented and tracked.

Oren · ‎May 22 2025

Great to hear! While you’re at it, you can consider using getOrganizationDevices specifying productTypes=“switch”, which will retrieve only switches (saving you to filter the results afterwards). Or, skip two steps by leveraging getOrganizationSwitchPortsBySwitch which will get you the port configurations of all switches in the organization. In a small environment it won’t matter much, but in larger ones - it would be a ~80% API call reduction.

Could this be an indentation problem? "ports_to_cycle" does not seem to be under the "for device in devices:" loop, which would mean only the last device/serial number would make it into "ports_to_cycle".

Oren · ‎May 21 2025

I’m glad to hear. Good luck!

Oren · ‎May 20 2025

Do you have “Bearer” before the API key? https://community.meraki.com/t5/Developers-APIs/Difficulty-connecting-to-Meraki-Dashboard-API-from-Power-BI/m-p/264772

Thanks for reviving this thread. In most cases, while both MXs are up - primary should be active. while primary is down and warm spare is up - warm spare should be active. The availability status of the devices is available via getOrganizationDevicesAvailabilities. However, as pointed out, a split brain status is not available via API currently. There is an feature request for it, and if you can contact your Cisco account team - ask them to promote "MXIDEA-I-511". They'd know what to do.

Arrays in REST calls have an annoying syntax. Did you try this?

Oren · ‎Apr 28 2025

Thanks to everyone who votes and helped us win the Postman developers' choice award! We will keep doing our best to provide you with an unparalleled user experience and the performant APIs.

Oren · ‎Apr 14 2025

Thanks, Rafael! One of the challenges I have with Cisco Live is copyrights, and inability to use memes. I might recreate a few for San Diego.

With 4 more days to go, it looks like Pynt, Cisco Meraki, and Salesforce are competing for Postman’s developers’ award 1st place. 🔹If our API has made your life easier 🔹helped automate your network 🔹or just impressed you along the way.. please take a moment to vote and spread the word! 👉 Voting in 30 seconds:  1️⃣ Go to postman.com/meraki-api  2️⃣ Click “vote” Your support means the world to us! 💙 Let’s show the power of the Meraki developer community and bring this award home! 🏆

Oren · ‎Apr 10 2025

Correct. The current API operations for claiming and unclaiming devices does not play well with Terraform. We’re working on getting the underlying API operation fixed instead of adding complex logic into the provider. That will make easier for all IaC tools (TF, Ansible, Pulumi, etc’).

Oren · ‎Apr 7 2025

Thanks to this amazing community, Meraki API is currently at the first place! If you haven’t voted yet, please do - we want to make sure we stay there 😎 Our friends at DevNet would appreciate your vote too. Voting is open until April 18th.

Starting today, all new Dashboard API requests will include a mandatory CAPTCHA challenge. Because why should humans have all the fun? 🔹 Need to get device status? Identify traffic cones first. 🔹 Updating network settings? Click all images with Wi-Fi routers. 🔹 Bulk provisioning? Solve a 5x5 Sudoku puzzle. Security is our top priority, and we know developers love puzzles. You’re welcome. #SecurityFirst (We hope you enjoy this April Fool’s joke, happy coding! 😉 )
