Hello RaresPauna, As mentioned in the chat here is a Python class i created to help with the Meraki API ratelimit.       import sys, requests, os, json import pandas as pd from requests_futures.sessions import FuturesSession from requests.adapters import HTTPAdapter from requests.packages.urllib3.util.retry import Retry class MyHTTPSession: def __init__(self, ARG_APIKEY=None, URL_LIST=[]): assert ARG_APIKEY, f'{self.__class__.__name__} ARG_APIKEY cannot be empty' self.ARG_APIKEY = ARG_APIKEY self.BASE_URL = "https://api.meraki.com/api/v1" # Create list of urls for further processing self.urls = list(self.divide_chunks(URL_LIST)) retry_strategy = Retry( total=4, backoff_factor=0.5, status_forcelist=[429, 500, 502, 503, 504], method_whitelist=["HEAD", "GET", "OPTIONS"] ) adapter = HTTPAdapter(max_retries=retry_strategy) self.http = requests.Session() self.http.mount("https://", adapter) self.http.mount("http://", adapter) self.headers={ 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key': self.__dict__['ARG_APIKEY'], 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip' } def divide_chunks(self, l): n = 5 # looping till length l for i in range(0, len(l), n): yield l[i:i + self.n] def count_len(self, l): count = 0 for i in range(0, len(l), self.n): count+=1 self.netlist_len = count def clear_console(self): platforms = { 'linux1' : 'Linux', 'linux2' : 'Linux', 'win32' : 'Windows' } if sys.platform not in platforms: raise f" Platform:{sys.platform} is not in the list clear_console" else: if platforms[sys.platform] == 'linux': os.system('clear') elif platforms[sys.platform] == 'Windows': os.system('cls') def process_bar(self): try: precent = 100 * (self.cnt / self.netlist_len) except ZeroDivisionError: precent = 0 bar = '#' * int(precent) + '-' * (100 - int(precent)) print(f"\r|{bar}| {precent:.2f}%", end="\r") def get_data(self): self.clear_console() df = pd.DataFrame() end_df = pd.DataFrame() self.__dict__.setdefault('json_dept', 1) self.__dict__.setdefault('data', '') self.cnt = 0 self.process_bar() self.cnt += 1 for urls in self.urls: futures = [(url[1],self.http.get(self.BASE_URL + url[0], data=json.dumps(self.data), headers=self.headers)) for url in urls] self.process_bar() self.cnt +=1 for future in futures: try: r = future[1] if r.status_code == 200: if len(r.json()) != 0: df = pd.json_normalize(r.json(), max_level=self.json_dept, errors='ignore') for key, value in future[0].items(): df[key] = value df = df.fillna(value=np.nan) df = df.astype(str) while 'next' in r.links: r = self.http.get(r.links['next']['url'], headers=self.headers) if len(r.json()) != 0: dff = pd.json_normalize(r.json(), max_level=self.json_dept, errors='ignore') for key, value in future[0].items(): dff[key] = value dff = dff.fillna(value=np.nan) dff = dff.astype(str) df = pd.concat([df, dff]) elif r.status_code == 404: print("Page not found") except requests.exceptions.RequestException as err: print(f"Error occurred during HTTP request: {err}") continue end_df = pd.concat([end_df, df]) self.response = end_df       This class takes a list of lists containing urls to check. As an example, I'm using the url endpoint '/organizations/{Organization IDs}/networks' to collect all networks inside an organization.   lst = [] records = <Source from where to select> for row in records: URL = f"/organizations/{<Organization IDs>}/networks" lst.append([URL, {}]) my_meraki_session = MyHTTPSession(ARG_APIKEY='123456789', URL_LIST=lst) df_result = my_meraki_session.get_data()       Records is a list of the organization IDs that the API key can access.  There's an extra dictory [] after the url in the lst. This dictionary can be used to add more information to the Pandas dataframe later on. Things like organization names  Example:   records = Mysql_connection(dictionary=None).Select('ORGIDS', 'id', 'name' ,DISTINCT='DISTINCT') for row in records: URL = f"/organizations/{row[0]}/devices" lst.append([URL, {'organizationId': row[0], 'organizationName':row[1]}])   MyHTTPSession is a custom HTTP session class that extends the requests.Session class. The class is initialized with two parameters: ARG_APIKEY and URL_LIST. The ARG_APIKEY is a mandatory parameter that represents the API key for the Meraki dashboard API. URL_LIST is an parameter that is a list of URLs that will be processed. The class has several methods. Init(self, ARG_APIKEY=None, URL_LIST=[]): This is the class constructor that initializes the class properties ARG_APIKEY, BASE_URL, urls, http, and headers. It also initializes the Retry and HTTPAdapter objects that will be used for handling retries and HTTP requests. It divides the URL_LIST into chunks and sets the chunk size to 5. It also sets default values for json_dept, data, and netlist_len. Divide_chunks(self, l): This method is used to divide the URL_LIST into chunks of size 5. It takes in a list l as a parameter and uses a yield statement to return chunks of size 5. Count_len(self, l): This method is used to count the number of chunks in the URL_LIST. It takes in a list l as a parameter and divides the list into chunks of size 5. It then calculates the number of chunks and sets the result to the netlist_len property. Clear_console(self): This method is used to clear the console. It uses the os and sys modules to determine the platform and clear the console accordingly. Process_bar(self): This method is used to display a progress bar. It calculates the percentage of completion and displays the progress bar in the console. Get_data(self): This is the main method that retrieves data from the Meraki dashboard API. It initializes two data frames, end_df and end_df. It sets the JSON_dept and data properties if they are not already set. It sets the cnt property to 0 and displays the progress bar. It then iterates over the urls and creates a list of futures using the http.get method. It then iterates over the futures and processes the responses. If the status code is 200, it normalizes the JSON response using the PD.json_normalize method and adds any additional columns from the future. If there are more pages in the response, it continues to retrieve data until all pages are retrieved. It then concatenates the data frame df with end_df. If the status code is 404, it prints an error message. If there is an error during the HTTP request, it prints an error message and continues. Finally, it sets the response property to end_df.   ...

We use certificate based authentication to only allow domain laptop on our network.  Most importantly, the EAP protocol is capable of carrying only one Authentication at a given time. It can be either User or Computer and never both. That is Protocol limitation defined in RFC. Thus the AAA or Radius Server has no method of knowing if this request is coming from an unauthenticated machine. ... View more

Well i think the JSON is well formed but i'm not sure. maybe need help with that. do you have an example on this ?   On the MX and template there are 2 vlans enabled, vlan 100 and vlan 5.     ... View more

Hi,   Thank you for the reply.    The ip addresses are unique per site and only want to change the ip range on the MX and not change the VLAN. you cannot change the VLAN on a MX once it is bound to a template but i can change the ip range.    Is that possible or ? ... View more

Build a new script last night it works much better but still hits the API limit.  😅   # This is a Python 3 script to count the total unique client MAC addresses connected to MR access points for # an organization during the last month. # # Usage: # clientcount.py -k <api key> [-o <org name>] # # Parameters: # -k <api key> : Mandatory.
