Hi @sungod, thank you for your insights on the back-end side of this API call. I am definitely interested in the security appliances' events at the moment, however i am retrieving this data through a node.js backend. This still requires the same amount of API calls on this endpoint and they can't be made asynchronously as i have to wait for the "rel=next" link to be able to proceed. I guess i was a bit optimistic in finding a faster way of providing this info, but it seems setting up a database to act as cache is necessary for these kinds of calls as to not overload the server with too many requests for the same resource as it seems redundant. 😅

Hi Jamie, thank you for the example, it will definitely help along with Paul's code. It seems most of the Meraki API use cases are done in Python. 😅

Thank you Paul for the detailed response. My specific use case is for a JavaScript implementation, but the general approach is clear enough 🙂

I am interested in displaying the security events in an organization. I have found my way around the pagination for this specific call, however it seems a bit tedious to call this endpoint 40 times to get all of the events in a specific timespan (1 week gets me 40000 events). Is there a more efficient way to tackle this? unless i need to maintain a database for my calls as cache 🙂

I have searched the API documentation and i haven't found any call that does this out of the box. I am wondering what's the best API call for me to get the current client count.
