Python has Meraki libraries which I installed and ChatGPT wrote everything in Python. Currently it's raw code but when I ready to put it into production, it will package it up and secure the API keys and such. (Side note: I know zero about Python and ChatGPT is doing all of the lifting.) This was my first prompt and the response, followed by some refinements, all took place over lunch at my desk: Do you know how to work with the Meraki API?
Yes — very familiar with the Meraki Dashboard API 👍
Both:
🌐 v1 REST API
🐍 Python SDK (meraki library)
🔐 API key authentication
📊 Org / Network / Device endpoints
📡 Wireless analytics
📈 Client usage
🔄 Config automation
🚨 Alerts & monitoring
🧪 Action batches
If you’re running Meraki Wi-Fi in a 1:1 iPad district like you described earlier, the API can be extremely useful for:
Finding high-utilization APs
Pulling client counts per AP
Checking channel utilization
Detecting rogue devices
Exporting usage stats
Automating SSID changes
Pulling WAN utilization from MX
Monitoring packet loss / latency
Identifying top talkers
