It seemed like Meraki was announcing new features nearly every week in 2023. I haven't seen any new announcements in the New Features section at all this year. Anyone know what's going on?

That was the very first thing I installed, using that exact page as a guide. I get that my questions are super basic and I'm sorry for that, but I really do go through the Meraki API documentation - and have been for a few weeks now. I've come along way, especially for never having done anything like this ever. If reinstalling everything is actually going to help, then I will gladly do that. But I'm a little hesitant, because I'm so close to finishing the one thing I need this for and I'm concerned that this will just be taking two steps back.

To my knowledge I'm running the most recent versions of all the Meraki packages. The code I posted is adapted from scripts I found online here. My first script that checks if the MAC is on the network runs perfectly. My main issue is calling up the 'lastSeen' element, which really seems to be a syntax error, which is what I'm looking for help on. Also, 'import meraki' is importing meraki.py from the scripts I linked above.

It went from 1.10.0 to 1.12.0, so I guess that's something! Thanks!

Hmmm that's strange, I only installed the packages not three weeks ago. I will check again.

I'm familiar with Meraki but this is my first rodeo for API/Python things, so I imagine the problem is my missing something super simple. I have one script that depends on the last seen time of some wireless clients, and I'm having a difficult time pulling that value. So I made the below script just to print the 'lastSeen' time and I'll adapt it later into the larger script. Depending on the syntax in the lastSeen lookup below, I either get "KeyError: 'lastSeen'" or "NameError: name 'lastSeen' is not defined". I know the issue is probably my not being clear enough that I'm trying to pull the last seen time, but I don't know what I'm supposed to write instead. Specifically what am I missing? Thanks! #!/usr/bin/python
import meraki
import json
#
# Python Script Using Meraki API to find last seen time of client device
# Prints out the time last seen
#
# Enter Organization ID Here, to be converted into an environment variable later
apikey = 'abcdeabcdeabcdeabcdeabcdeabcdeabcde'
# Enter Organization ID Here
organizationid = '54321'
# Enter Client MAC Address
mac = 'ab:cd:ef:01:23:45'
#Network lookup
networks = meraki.getnetworklist(apikey, organizationid, suppressprint=True)
#Loop through Network
for row in networks:
#Device Lookup
devices = meraki.getnetworkdevices(apikey, row['id'], suppressprint=True)
#Loop through each device in network
for device in devices:
#Client Lookup
clients = meraki.getclients(apikey, device['serial'], suppressprint=True)
#print(format(str(device['serial'] + '\n')) + (str(device['mac'])))
#Loop to find client
for client in clients:
#LastSeen lookup***This is the main line that is giving me trouble
lastOnline = client['lastSeen']
#print(format(str(client['mac'] + '\n')))
print(format('Last Seen: ') + str(['lastSeen'] + '\n'))
break
else:
continue
break

break
#Print Statement for not found in loop

print ('Made it to the end of the script')
