Thanks for the answer @sungod . "Use the calls that retrieve data for an entire organization or network, avoid per-device calls whenever possible." I noticed the API ability to fetch devices from an organization. The rest of the things can only be fetched at network level for now: such as Vlans, SSIDs, Clients. "I use Python scripts with the API package to gather stats for multiple organizations, some have hundreds of networks, it doesn't take too long." Too long is subjective 🙂 e.g. 10 organizations with 100 networks, collecting all Vlans would take 100 calls x 10 times per each = 1000 calls. Under the limit of 5 calls a seconds it is 200 seconds for Vlans, same for SSIDS and Clients, 600 seconds for all, still significant time I am trying to decrease.

Hi, I am trying to commit many GET commands, in order to monitor a setup with many organizations, networks, devices, clients. 1. Is there a way to exceed the 5 calls a second limitation? maybe through a subscription / license / other way. 2. I noticed there is action batches option and API manual for it: "Use Action Batches for bulk constructive/destructive operations (PUT, POST, DELETE)" Does someone know if it supports or will support batched GET commands? Thank you in advance

Hi To get client info via API, it seem I must know beforehand on which network or device it is on: GET /devices/[serial]/clients GET /networks/[networkId]/clients/[id_or_mac_or_ip] Assuming I want to get client info only knowing it's MAC (big organization with multiple networks and devices) is there a way? Interested in any kind of workaround you have in mind, even for partial info, Thanks

Thanks for trying to help, found the way. PUT request to api.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/{{NetworkId}}/clients/{{ClientMac}}/policy?timespan=86400&devicePolicy=Different policies by SSID with the body blocked_msg=&access=custom&custom_policy%5B0%5D=-1&custom_policy%5B1%5D=-1&custom_policy%5B3%5D=1&ids%5B%5D=DEVICE_ID (when parsed it looks like this:) Will get the result of the client having 'Normal' policy towards ssids with ID 0 and 1 'Blocked' for ssid with ID 3

Hi, I need to get all the blocked clients from the network or device. In the community there was suggested a UI solution of filtering clients by policy. How-to-check-the-blocked-clients-list 1. Does anyone know of a way to get blocked clients using REST API ? 2. Still in API, does anyone know of a command to get all clients and their SSID (instead of one call to get client ids on device, and another call using single client id to get ssid). Thanks

While at it, does anyone know of a way to get all clients(with their SSIDs) in one request? In order to check all of them together, and avoid making hundreds of requests for a large network. thanks again

I need help with blocking a device from a specific SSID using API. There is an option to do so in the Meraki UI by selecting the client: It does the work just fine. I am looking to find a way to do the same using an API request. checking client policy by /networks/[networkId]/clients/[client_mac]/policy Before changing: { "mac": "__MAC___", "type": "Normal" } After changing { "mac": "__MAC___", "type": "Different policies by SSID", "ssids": { "0": { "type": "Normal", "name": "SSID_Name0" }, "1": { "type": "Normal", "name": "SSID_Name1" }, "3": { "type": "Blocked", "name": "SSID_Name3" } } } I know I can send a request with device policy being whitelisted/blocked/normal/group, but I aim for "Different policies by SSID" or any other way to achieve it, if anyone knows. Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot ! Wasn't aware of this path, just what I needed ^^

Hello, Using api, I need to know which clients (mac/ip/identifier) are connected to which SSID. From the API docs there is an option to get clients api/v0/devices/[Device_ID/clients and SSIDs api/v0/networks/[Network_ID]/ssids In both of them you cannot relate between a client and an SSID of which is connected to. (clients don't have ssid field, ssids dont have clients list). Is there a way using the official API to get clients on SSID information? Thanks in advance
