Hello im new to the meraki API but i am trying to export all firewall rules to a csv. The code is written in python and successfully exports both L3 and L7 data but for some reason port forwarding comes back as 404. I have full admin privileges with my API key and i know the key is working because it is able to pull L3 and L7. If i go directly to the url https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/networks/{network_id}/appliance/firewall/portForwardingRules on a web browser, i can see the data it should be exporting so i know its valid. This result is consistent across multiple networks. Im not sure where else to trouble . Here is the code in python and results. Thanks. import requests
import os
import csv
# Constants
API_KEY = 'redacted'
NETWORK_ID = 'redacted'
BASE_URL = 'https://api.meraki.com/api/v1'
OUTPUT_CSV_FILE = 'export_all_firewall_rules.csv'

headers = {
'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key': API_KEY,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
