Hi ricardo-rojas, I use both of these api requests frequently without fail. One thing I will mention, if the device has never been online regardless of its configuration, the value for the key 'lanIp' will be None and give you the KeyError. I believe the same to be true if a device as been down for an extended period of time as well, though I'm not 100% positive about that. Typically, when I'm trying to get that specific value from the key ['lanIp'] it is an indicator for me that the device is either down or has yet to be provisioned and I create an exception KeyError handler for that situation. This is not the case for the ['serial'] or ['mac'] keys, they will report those values regardless to up/down(online/offline) status. Add a "try:" and "except KeyError:" and have the exception print the whole devices dictionary just to see if that key is giving you a value of None. That's my best guess as to what may be happening with the information you provided. -mforman

Greetings! Initially I tried to perform this using the python request module and experienced an issue while trying to work through the response.links (for next page) so I spun up a python venv to test this on the python meraki sdk and experienced similar results. Sample Code: import meraki dashboard = meraki.DashboardAPI(YOUR_merakiApiKey) response = dashboard.wireless.getOrganizationWirelessDevicesEthernetStatuses(YOUR_merakiOrgID, total_pages='all') print(response) It just continues to run but the url for the next page never changes. aka: "startingAfter" terminal logs: 2023-03-21 16:26:46 meraki: INFO > GET https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/XX/wireless/devices/ethernet/statuses 2023-03-21 16:26:46 meraki: INFO > wireless, getOrganizationWirelessDevicesEthernetStatuses; page 1 - 200 OK 2023-03-21 16:26:46 meraki: INFO > GET https://n545.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/XX/wireless/devices/ethernet/statuses?perPage=100&startingAfter=13803415844340 2023-03-21 16:26:47 meraki: INFO > wireless, getOrganizationWirelessDevicesEthernetStatuses; page 2 - 200 OK 2023-03-21 16:26:47 meraki: INFO > GET https://n545.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/XX/wireless/devices/ethernet/statuses?perPage=100&startingAfter=13803415844340 2023-03-21 16:26:47 meraki: INFO > wireless, getOrganizationWirelessDevicesEthernetStatuses; page 3 - 200 OK

Thank you for the reply, do you happen to have a thread started about this issue that I may follow?

I appreciate the reply, I've been noticing this issue for some time (6+ months), but I've never inquired about this issue and developed work arounds.

Greetings, device_types_to_query = 'MR52, MR53, MR56, MR74, MR76' connected_switch_models = 'Cisco C9200L(24/48), Cisco C2960X(24/48), Cisco C4500's, Cisco C9400's full POE' When performing - dashboard.devices.getDeviceLldpCdp(device['serial']) Sometimes the return is an empty dictionary even though the information on the Meraki dashboard has the LLDP/CDP information. It seems very random when this occurs and without particular reason that I can find. Some devices connected the same switch will return the LLDP/CDP information just fine while randomly one will not. Has anyone experienced this issue? How is this information retrieved from the dashboard does the AP query the switch or is it pulled from storage? Any insight would be appreciated. Regard, Matt
