Thanks, I've been over this one as well @AutomationDude, but I can't really figure out the numbers. I'm guessing here that `wifi0` is 2.4ghz band and `wifi1` is the 5ghz band. But I still don't think it returns the channels? Only the utilization of the respective bands. And I also don't get what the props `wifi` and `non_wifi` means in the context. The response from the API is a bit different as well than from the docs. Here's what it looks like in my end when querying the API: [ { "serial": "string", "model": "MR33", "tags": "", "wifi0": [ { "utilization": 46.1, "wifi": 38.1, "non_wifi": 8.0, "start_ts": "2021-07-13T07:00:00Z", "end_ts": "2021-07-13T07:10:00Z" }, ... ], wifi1": [ { "utilization": 18.93, "wifi": 18.61, "non_wifi": 0.32, "start_ts": "2021-07-13T07:00:00Z", "end_ts": "2021-07-13T07:10:00Z" }, ... ] }, ... }

Hi, We're looking for a way to get the wireless channel utilization, per device, via the API. I just can't find it, in the Meraki dashboard it seems to come via a socket. We've found this one https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-network-wireless-channel-utilization-history but that only gives channel changes for clients, not a snapshot of current channel utilization. Does anyone know where to get this data via API call? Thanks

Thanks @Inderdeep, but unfortunately that does not work, since you have to provide either a `clientId` or `serial` to get a response. And I'm still a puzzled about what exactly the data in the response correlates to.

Hi, Sorry for asking newbie questions, but I really am a newbie in this context. I saw in another post that there isn't an endpoint for getting a network aggregated view of current channel utilization of all APs. However, I have a hard time understanding the data provided by the API in this case. A client asked for a small dashboard giving a simple overview of networks. I was looking at for example these two endpoints {{baseUrl}}/networks/:networkId/wireless/channelUtilizationHistory {{baseUrl}}/networks/:networkId/networkHealth/channelUtilization I'm guessing that the `wifi0` and `wifi1` property in the response is the 2.4ghz and 5ghz respectively. Moreover, I'm still guessing here, that the `utilization` property is the number in percentage being utilized. But what is for example `wifi` and `non-wifi` in the list under the respective `wifiX` mentioned above? And which channels are being used? I'm in a learning curve here regarding the Meraki environment. Thanks in advance!
