I recommend use the Python library, it will do the page handling and many other things for you such as handling rate limiting - if you still want to write your own, you can see how the library code does it.

Thanks for the heads up.   However to clarify, the /devices/{serial}/reboot API endpoint has always been there, (since the first release of the API a couple of years ago, as I was doing this already back then) but it was undocumented and it was also not exposed in the python client bindings, which is why I had to manually construct the http request to call to that endpoint in the reboot_ap() function.   I see from your link that the API endpoint is now finally documented, however I have not checked to see if there is a new version of the meraki python client bindings which add it as a proper python function call yet. (At the time of my post a month ago, it was not in the python client bindings)   In any case the script above is still working and I use it to auto reboot our AP's once a week. ... View more

Try replacing your line: $tempcontentrules.blockedUrlCategories = $tempcontentrules.blockedUrlCategories | Select-Object -Property * -ExcludeProperty 'name'  with this: $tempcontentrules.blockedUrlCategories = $($tempcontentrules.blockedUrlCategories | Select-Object -Property * -ExcludeProperty 'name').id The first line stores the following in your $tempcontentrules.blockedUrlCategories variable: "blockedUrlCategories": [ { "id": "meraki:contentFiltering/category/11" }, { "id": "meraki:contentFiltering/category/46" }, { "id": "meraki:contentFiltering/category/49" }, { "id": "meraki:contentFiltering/category/52" }, { "id": "meraki:contentFiltering/category/56" }, { "id": "meraki:contentFiltering/category/57" }, { "id": "meraki:contentFiltering/category/59" }, { "id": "meraki:contentFiltering/category/70" }, { "id": "meraki:contentFiltering/category/71" } ], Meraki doesn't accept the "id": part of that json, so by using the second line you get this instead: "blockedUrlCategories": [ "meraki:contentFiltering/category/11", "meraki:contentFiltering/category/46", "meraki:contentFiltering/category/49", "meraki:contentFiltering/category/52", "meraki:contentFiltering/category/56", "meraki:contentFiltering/category/57", "meraki:contentFiltering/category/59", "meraki:contentFiltering/category/70", "meraki:contentFiltering/category/71" ],   Literally just had to figure all this out with the help of this thread! ...

Great! That was it!! Thanks @CBurkhead For my GET I was using the header: headers = {"X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key":"<my-API-Key>","Accept":"application/json"} And I was trying to use the same header for the PUT operation. I was getting code 200 as you well mentioned, however, nothing ever changed. Then, I followed your suggestion and changed my PUT header to: headers = {"X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key":"<my-API-Key>","Content-Type":"application/json"} And that did it! Thank y'all for the quick response to this thread. I imagined it would take me weeks to get a response. I'm so happy it was not the case. Kudos! ... View more

You can update the content filtering with API.  Please note, when you update the content filtering, it will not add to what is there, it will replace it.  The best thing to do is pull back what is there and add what you want to it. ... View more

That would be fantastic. I have added code to my script so that if the serial number can't be matched up from the full organization license list, it makes the call again with the specific serial number I am looking for. This has fixed most of the not found licenses. The remaining issues seem to mostly be around licenses that I know are about to expire (in the next 2 or so weeks). They are not appearing in the data from the API, but are in the dashboard.   I was also playing around with specifying the license state in the API call to see if that helped. Right now, if I specify "active", I get an error 500. I have been able to get data back when I tried the "unusedActive" state. Calling the endpoint without specifying the state does return licenses with different states. ... View more

That's odd, our solution is still using an older version of the NodeJS SDK (1.1.0) and has recently started receiving the same error:   { errorMessage: 'HTTP Response Not OK', errorCode: 400, errorResponse: `{"errors":["'copyFromNetworkId' must be a string"]}` }   It appears to me that the API has recently changed it's behaviour in how it treats the presence (or in our case, absence) of this field. This violates the promise of backwards-compatible changes documented here.   Our previously working automation is broken ahead of our HQ rollout - can you please advise whether the API will be fixed to it's original behaviour? ...

Are you referring to Device Status?  If so @CBurkhead is correct and that call should be sufficient.  If you are looking for availability statistics like if a device is up for 99% of a time period, then they don't have a specific call for that.   You can use the GET /networks/{networkId}/devices/{serial}/lossAndLatencyHistory endpoint to get the packet loss info for a time period.  The inverse of that is close to availability (depending on the availability calc you are going for ). ...

I must admit I haven't been able to get "into" Postman.  It looks pretty when I have tried but for some reason it doesn't "gel" with me as being something usefull I can use.  It doesn't seem to address any problem I have. It just seems to let you interact with an API without cutting any code.   With regard to Python and node.js I've been thinking mostly about solutions around dotenv (since it is available for both platforms, widely deployed and well respected). The idea I'm starting to settle on the most is using two calls to dotenv.  One to retrieve a "global" environment file from the users home directory (such as .meraki.env) and one from the project directory.  The idea being the home directory file can store settings for the global use across all of projects, such as credentials.  I like the idea of storing credentials completely outside of the project directory as it would stop accidents happening, and it means common things like credentals can be used across all projects. The idea of a second call to dotenv to load a project file means you can retrieve config related to just that project. Effectively this would allow a global configuration with a per project override. I like th idea of being able to having environment based parameters because you can esaily feed them into serverless environments like Amazon AWS Lamba with no code changes.   One idea I am still chewing over; I think it would be nice to be able to load a set of parameters based on an environment variable itself.  This would allow for handling the "switching" of envionments, such as between test and production.  So perhaps the project based settings file to be used could be specified by an environment file itself.   So a flow something like: if exists env.MERAKI_CONFIG dotenv.config(env.MERAKI_CONFIG) else dotenv.config((). dotenv.config(HOME_DIRECTORY+".meraki.env")   So now you can set the environment variable MERAKI_CONFIG to something like "test.env", "production.env", etc to make your app switch between different settings, as well as pull a global environment setting, and all with minimal lines of code being added to the app - and zero code changes are required when you switch environments.     How does Postman store these variables?  Can it store/load them in a compatible fashion with dotenv (which would be super usefull)?  Postman seems to use json a lot.  I have moved away from the idea of using json for config where possible after doing a lot of reading on Google and people's horror stories with trying to modify their config files and how easy it was to accidentaly break things. The other idea I like is using old school ini files, because of the abilities to have sections.  I like the idea of being able ot have a "test" or "production" section, or a "meraki" and "mysql" section.  It's also nice to be able to have comments in the ini file.  But its hard to go past the simplicity of the dotenv name=value system.     I joined the "Early access program" when it was first announced.  I have not heard anything.  Is the program actually active or when do you think it will become active?     ...
