some one from Meraki DevOp team can answer best but let me give it a shot, some attributes of configuration API are Create, update, or delete operations. Configure network settings, policies, devices, and applications. Set parameters that affect the operation of the network for instance "getOrganizationInsightApplications" API endpoint retrieves information about insight applications for an organization, which is typically used to configure and manage these applications within the network. This is why it falls under the Configuration category, as it deals with setting up and modifying configurations. some attributes of monitoring API are Read-only operations. Retrieve status, metrics, logs, and reports. Provide real-time or historical data for analysis and monitoring purposes. for instance "getNetworkSmDeviceConnectivity" API endpoint retrieves connectivity information for devices in a Systems Manager network, which is used to monitor the current connectivity status and performance of devices. Hence, it is classified as a Monitoring API, as it focuses on observing and reporting the state of the network rather than changing it. hope this helps
