Yes, networks of an org, I misspoke/mistyped there. The sample response doesn't include configTemplateId because it's an example of a network that's not bound to a template, but for those networks that are bound to a template, that field is returned. Try it out and you'll see. 😀

chengineer · ‎Oct 20 2020

You can get the orgs of a network to see which networks are bound to which templates. As for retrieving the configs of templates (or networks/devices), you will need to make multiple API calls. Here's an example solution that does this.

This was sooooo fun, @BrechtSchamp! Now you've inspired me to go read the book. Thank you for creating such a fun way to learn Meraki APIs!! 1.

Anybody want to help beta test a lab guide on voice assistant integration please? 😀 Thanks in advance!

looks like you're missing a comma there following the penultimate parameter

Totally recognized, and it's something we've heard--loud and clear--for a while, both on the API & MV teams. While the API team doesn't own this feature, we are consulting with the MV team on possible ways to solve the problems you mentioned there. Another approach we've seen other partners develop use RTSP and local/custom models for edge processing, eliminating the reliance on any cloud APIs (Dashboard API or third-party computer vision engines).

Looks like @CarolineS fixed and restored your post from the spam filter, @theshmike! I'm not aware of any policy like that, and personally, we on the API PM team love our users tinkering and finding creative solutions! You already called out that it's not officially supported and subject to the MV device/firmware changing in the future. I'm not a lawyer, but other than that, I think that doesn't bar you from sharing cool info like this!

chengineer · ‎Jul 27 2020

hey @theshmike, i see you reply from this morning at 5:08 PDT (UTC-7) in my inbox, but not here... i'm not sure what happened, and personally don't have the ability to delete posts (nor like that happening either)

chengineer · ‎Jul 18 2020

That's correct Phil: this use case currently will require RTSP.

Hello from the Meraki API PM team! We understand that, across the industry, APIs aren't typically "Meraki simple". You have to wade through tons of documentation or code, and one small typo in your source can crash an entire script. Similarly, trying to show what's possible with APIs can also be challenging with custom environments, setups that require pre-planning, and other high barriers of entry. We aimed to solve for these issues with the API Demo Platform, which provides you a "Merakified" way to experience the power of APIs without having to understand how they work, and also without needing to show any documentation, programs like Postman, or source code, although those resources are provided if you want the details. All you need here to run an API demo is a free Webex Teams account, available for anybody to register at teams.webex.com. Afterwards, find MerakiBot with the address at meraki.bot@webex.bot in Webex Teams, and ask for an "API demo". (Note if you are a corporate user and cannot find this account, your Webex administrator may have blocked access to external contacts/bots, so you'll need to either have a Cisco/Meraki teammate invite you to a room with MerakiBot, or create a separate Webex Teams account with a personal email.) Here are some screenshots, and the basic idea behind this API Demo Platform is to quickly experience automating network configuration, monitoring infrastructure health, generating live reports, and alerting on issues just by clicking on some (super) easy buttons. Give it a whirl, and let us know what you think. Thank you!

@Namgyu for #1, "alerting" is also a possible state, and for #5, "ready" and "failed".

Oh sorry, this thread was on BLE, my mistake!

Wi-Fi scanning v3 actually works on R26.6.1. If you don't see the option on a network running that version, navigate a page under the Wireless tab (for example, SSIDs), then back to Network-wide > General as there is a current bug preventing "v3" from showing as an option when navigated from an MX/MS page.

pip[3] install meraki==1.0.0b9 (b11 coming tomorrow, b10 has a silly typo/bug), via the GitHub repo

chengineer · ‎Jun 30 2020

You probably have a v0 version of the library then. See my previous message.

chengineer · ‎Jun 30 2020

Does this not work for you? Which version of Python library is installed (pip[3] show meraki)? Tested successfully with version 1.0.0b9. import meraki API_KEY = '6bec40cf957de430a6f1f2baa056b99a4fac9ea0' # public sandbox API key dashboard = meraki.DashboardAPI(API_KEY) network_id = 'L_646829496481105433' response = dashboard.wireless.getNetworkWirelessBluetoothSettings(network_id) print(response)

Is dashboard a global variable instantiated correctly? Also, how are you running this code? Not sure if PyCharm but I've noticed some latest updates that have changed the behavior of how the IDE finds installed modules, so try troubleshooting outside of your IDE.

chengineer · ‎Jun 27 2020

Your second request there has the correct format (the positions of the parameters do not matter), but you may need to also include perPage so you do not miss any events of a second category that are on a different page. This works for me: https://n7.meraki.com/api/v1/networks/L_566890603095268587/events?includedEventTypes[]=vrrp&productType=appliance&includedEventTypes[]=dhcp&perPage=1000

Elaborating a bit more, the webhooks that are available are the same list as email alerts that you can find on the Network-wide > Alerts page. If it's not on that page, there is no framework today to trigger a JSON POST webhook for the event you're looking for.

chengineer · ‎Jun 11 2020

No, what you're asking for doesn't exist because it's totally separate. One's coming from the device live as an MQTT feed, and the other being proxied via the Meraki cloud as an alert/webhook.

chengineer · ‎Jun 11 2020

No problem; there's a webhook only for motion detection, regardless of what's actually seen in the camera. The code provided there is for both people and vehicles (latter for MV72/MV72X).

chengineer · ‎Jun 11 2020

It's not via webhooks, but with the REST API POST call, the instructions of which you can on the Meraki Adventure API 1.0 Lab (step 10, on bottom of the second page).

chengineer · ‎Jun 2 2020

Ah OK, I think I've figured out the issue, which is that these query parameters should be passed in the resource as opposed to the body. If you modify the URI to be something like the following, it should work: $networkUri = 'https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/L_123456789/events?productType=appliance&perPage=30&includedEventTypes[]=client_vpn_connect&includedEventTypes[]=client_vpn_disconnect'

The last messages in this thread might be helpful? https://community.meraki.com/t5/Developers-APIs/Air-Marshal-API-calls-not-all-the-expected-events-are-returned/td-p/65043

Actually, MS's layer 3 interface configuration just went into v1 beta as of today. If you get a chance, please test them out and offer feedback ASAP so we can validate before v1 goes GA. You can find these endpoints in your dashboard organization's Help > API docs page > v1 beta > Switch Routing & DHCP.
