Hi thanks for the link to GitHub. The approach taken in the Python script is iterative. By this I mean it queries for a list of networks (for a given org ID), then for each network it gets all the devices, then for each devices it then gets all the clients, then for each client it collects data. This is what we already do today (roughly). What I was requesting from Meraki with my initial post, was to have an API endpoint which provided the information in bulk for a given organization or network, without needing to make API calls for each client. If there is a better way of making a API enhancement request, I'd be happy to explore that route. Thanks Martin

What specifically in the docs were you thinking indicated a call which met the requirements above? We have a working implementation, but would welcome the addition of an API endpoint which reduced the number of round trips.

Our integration with the Meraki Dashboard API requires us to get the network usage for each client, for each WiFi Access Point in an organization. This requires us to make a separate call for each device to fetch the client, which is slow, prone to throttling by the API, and puts unnecessary load on the Meraki servers. We would like to request an additional endpoint to enable us to do this without making multiple calls, or some guidance on if there is an existing API/functionality that would help us achieve this goal more efficiently. For example: Lists all the clients for an organization, including the serial number of the device the client is connected to. GET /organizations/[id]/clients Parameters timespan - The timespan for which clients will be fetched. Must be in seconds and less than or equal to a month (2592000 seconds). Sample Response Successful HTTP Status: 200 [ { "usage": { "sent": 138.0, "recv": 61.0 }, "id": "k74272e", "description": "Miles's phone", "mdnsName": "Miles's phone", "dhcpHostname": "MilesPhone", "mac": "00:11:22:33:44:55", "ip": "1.2.3.4", "vlan": "", "switchport": null, "serial":"Q234-ABCD-5678" } ] Critical fields for our integration are: usage (sent/recv) description mac ip serial (i.e. the AP the client is connected to) Thanks Martin

Would be good to get a reply from Meraki, as it impacts the design of the integration we're working on for MSPs. Thanks

Is there a list of the potential return values for status, beyond online? "status":"online", The docs are generally lacking in detailing all the potential return values. The same is true for the interface status reported as "Active" when querying: /api/v0/networks/{{networkId}}/devices/{{serial}}/uplink

The documentation here states: Note : Call volume is limited to 5 calls per second (per organization) I wanted to confirm that using an MSP User/API Key that the rate limiting occurs based on the org_id in the query and not on the API key being used. Thanks
