Thank you for your reply! That was a great call out - I did look at that part of the dashboard, update the MSP ID and test the API. You're correct that does show up in the Management section! Interestingly though, it's not the customer number that was in the example or the other replies. It looks like that's one "tag" among many that can be applied to the customer instance. Now to hunt around for where the others are in the dashboard... Thanks! "management": { "details": [ { "name": "MSP ID", "value": "789789789" }, { "name": "customer number", "value": "xxxxxxx" } ] }

Thank you, I appreciate you sending the example over of what you see in your dash. Any idea how this is set or who sets it? We're seeing multiple org IDs combined into Meraki EAs so one of the theories was that this was a "parent" identifier that was added in for some of the later buying models. In your example, is that Name and Value something you defined in your instance?

Hi, we're looking at the response schema in the GET Organizations (Get Organizations - Meraki Dashboard API v1 - Cisco Meraki Developer Hub) payload and we're trying to determine what this object named "Management" is. We use this API today to pull organization IDs for use in other calls and for quoting of renewals or conversions to Meraki Enterprise Agreements. Does anyone know what the "name" and "value" represent inside of "Management" or where they are used? The information in the Schema documentation says: "Details related to organization management, possibly empty. Details may be named 'MSP ID', 'customer number', 'IP restriction mode for API', or 'IP restriction mode for dashboard', if the organization admin has configured any." In the sample payload it looks like it's referencing an MSP instance - is this something that is a partner identifier for someone providing managed services? Or is this a parent object for Organization ID - for instance when a customer has multiple organization IDs or dashboard instances? I think this is something that was added recently to the Get Organizations API but am not sure. Does anyone know what these values represent? Get Organizations Response Schema: object[] id:string Organization ID name:string Organization name url:string Organization URL +api:object API related settings +cloud:object Data for this organization +licensing:object Licensing related settings +management:object Information about the organization's management system (object in question highlighted)

Yeah, that's fair 😀 That will probably be the "solve" here. Thanks again!

I appreciate the advice - unfortunately no luck. I tried the sandbox again just now: I'm getting a 404 error on the Subscription API endpoint - I think it's because that end point is not enabled (?) if that dashboard OrgID doesn't have subscription licensing: They don't show the licensing screen in the DevNet Sandbox (that I can see but would love to be wrong here) so I don't know which licensing model is in use but I think it's co-term (just based on the vintage of the Sandbox). So, my guess is that there is no test environment that has subscription licensing and so that there are no subscription API end points available to test against. I think that's why my test calls are all coming up 404 but obviously a lot of guesswork here. All the same, I do appreciate your help! I might need to go find a friendly production environment I can test against.

Thanks, that sounds promising - is there a sandbox or something where I can do that? It looks like the developer.cisco.com environment doesn't support what I'm trying to do but you sound knowledgeable about options.

Thanks - I did look in dCloud and they do have both subscription and EA environments on Instant demo. I don't think the environments there will let you generate API Keys though because dcloud uses SAML for the dashboard access. From the Meraki API documentation: SAML/SSO dashboard administrators cannot view or generate API keys: SAML users cannot generate API keys to uphold security requirements.

Hi, we're looking to add support for Meraki subscription monitoring into our platform through the subscription API end point (Get Administered Licensing Subscription Subscriptions - Meraki Dashboard API v1 - Cisco Meraki Developer Hub), is there any demo or sandbox environment that has a subscription licensing model loaded in it? It seems a lot of the current resources and documentation is based on per-device or co-term licensing so we're having trouble testing our code. Does anyone know of a "testable" environment that has subscription licensing loaded? Thanks!
