I've taken @PhilipDAth's original script, added @Fabian1 portions as well which has created a Solid Organization level backup.    #!/usr/bin/env python3 # # Before running this script you need to install these two modules: # pip install requests # pip install meraki-sdk # pip install -U python-dotenv # # Before you can use these scripts you need an API key. Following this guide to create an API key. # https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Other_Topics/The_Cisco_Meraki_Dashboard_API#Enable_API_access # # Create a ".meraki.env" file in your home directory (special note for Windows users - the filename is dot meraki dot env). # This is used to store your sensitive information. If you are a Windows user and you go Windows+R and type in "cmd" and # hit return you'll have a command prompt with the current directory equal to your home directory. From here you can # go "notepad .meraki.env" to create the file. A sample might look like: # x_cisco_meraki_api_key=**************************************** # Alternatively (ie only do this if you don't do the above) you can create a .env (note dot env) file in the same # directory as the backup script witht the same "x_cisco_meraki_api_key" field. # # To run a backup go: # meraki-backup.py "org name" # This will create a file called meraki-restore.py. To do a restore you go: # meraki-restore.py "org name" # Note that the store will not overwrite existing networks. You can either rename an existing network you want to restore # over or edit meraki-restore.py to restore into a different [new] network. Also you can edit meraki-restore.py to only # restore the bits you want. # import os from meraki_sdk.meraki_sdk_client import MerakiSdkClient from meraki_sdk.exceptions.api_exception import
