Thank you! Thats pretty nice, but would you guys be interested in doing something like stubs or anything similar. I could probably contribute to that repo quite frequently. People without strict type checking would not even see any changes, while people that actually check types, be able to get nice linting for the output of their functions.

Hello! I've been using the API for almost a year now, and one of the things that I really don't like about it, is the fact that it doesn't provide any sort of typing for complex outputs. This makes it hard to guess the shape of the output, although I do know the documentation sort of provides a guide for them. What I have resorted to doing was simply to start creating a bunch of typed dictionaries that specify the structure of different endpoints. Is there a chance that I could contribute with a stubs package for this? Or something similar? I feel like even though this is not absolutely needed, a bit of typing could go a long way to making the DX better. Thank you!

I know, its such a weird error. Do you know if something could be blocking the deletion? Maybe a different setting that is preventing us from deleting correctly.

Hello! I've been recently trying to delete some VLANs from a network. Im using the Python library, specifically the following function: dashboard.appliance.deleteNetworkApplianceVlan. Im getting a 204 code, which I take it means: "I managed to delete your stuff, go on with your day". However, when I go to the actual Meraki dashboard, the VLAN remains listed. The same happens with the API, if I fetch the available VLANs, the supposedly deleted VLAN still appears on the list. I tried re-running the delete endpoint from the API docs (https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/delete-network-appliance-vlan/), but I get a "Unable to fetch" response. Im so confused. Am I missing something? This would be easier if the API just said: Hey, something failed, here it is, but I just get a confirmation message.

Thank you. I think you are right. After comparing the values, they seem to be given in kbps. The only thing thats throwing me off is that the "getNetworkApplianceTrafficShapingUplinkBandwidth" is apparently given in bytes, but when I convert it to kilobits (Multiply by 8 and then divide by 1e6 to compare to the limits given in kbps) the percentage values are something like 700000%. I think its obviously wrong... but I dont know where the error might be. Maybe its because the actual unit is not bytes but bits? No idea.

Okay, thank you! One quick question though: Do you by any chance know what are the units returned by the "getNetworkApplianceTrafficShapingUplinkBandwidth" endpoint? I think its given in kilobits, but Im not sure.

Ohhh. Sorry, I dont know too much about networking, so the clients endpoint seemed like a good pick. But you are right, if it also covers inter-vlan traffic its best if I use another endpoint for the historic data. Do you think that this one would be better? https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-network-clients-usage-histories

Hello! I'm working in an alert system that checks whether a network has gone above a certain usage threshold (80% right now) and generates a report to the interested party. Currently Im using two endpoints to accomplish this: "getOrganizationClientsBandwidthUsageHistory" to get the historic usage data (in megabits per second) and "getNetworkApplianceTrafficShapingUplinkBandwidth" to get the maximum usage limits for upload and download (I know the endpoint returns a limit for each client in a network, but here I just take the first set of limits, since the networks we are managing basically set the same limits for all clients). After retrieving the data, I basically just divide the usage history by the limits (in kilobits per second, but I divide by a 1000 to get megabits) and get the usage history as a percentage. The thing is, the usual number of manual overuse reports is around 10, but with this automated system it generated almost 50. I think it may a problem of comparing apples to oranges, so please, if you have any better way to do this or a different endpoint to use, it would be very useful. Thank you!

Exactly! "Org Y" in this case is not returning anything when using "getOrganization". I have gone through all the organizations returned by "getOrganizations" and only two of them allow me to get specific info, the other 10 or so, always give me a 404 response. Curiously, they are all marked as for "production" use. Dont know what the system administrators could be using to block my access to those orgs specifically. But I could also open a case as well

Hey! Thank you for helping me out. Yeah. I'm indeed using the "getOrganizationConfigTemplates" endpoint. I went ahead and checked if the organization of interest had an associated config template, and it apparently does not have one. So that could be the culprit, but that still doesnt explain why I cant get the info from that specific organization even though it is API enabled. Do you know what could be happening there?

Hey! Thank you. Yeah. I didnt want to write the entire ID, but I actually tested the "getOrganization" endpoint with the entire ID and it fails.

Oh. Okay. Sorry. You can make sure that the line organizations : List[dict] = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizations() print(organizations) Works by printing the organizations variable. Hopefully you get something out

No worries! You can paste the code above and it should work. The code above is functional given that you have installed the meraki package

Sorry! I just gave an example of how to replace one of your blocks of code with the other. Let me give you an example of how you can do what you described: from typing import List
# Create a dashboard connection
dashboard = meraki.DashboardAPI(apikey.api_key)
# Get all the organizations
organizations : List[dict] = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizations()
# Go through each organization
for organization in organizations:
# Get all networks under the current organization
networks : List[dict] = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizationNetworks(
organization["id"], total_pages='all'
)
Added type annotations in some variables (The ": List[dict]" bit) to make it a bit more clear what data type are you receiving.

Hey! You could use the syntax provided by the meraki package to not manually structure a request each time: This block of code: url = "https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/535660/networks"
payload={}
headers = {'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key': apikey.api_key}
response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
networks = json.loads(response.text) Can be simplified to: dashboard = meraki.DashboardAPI(API_KEY)
networks = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizationNetworks("535660") Another cool thing is that, that "dashboard" variable can be shared between all the different calls that you want to make, so you can place a single `dashboard = meraki.DashboardAPI` statement at the top and then just use it for all the other API calls that you make You can see this link to see how to use the python method (When you access the page you will have a section to your right with parameters. Click on "templates" and then "meraki python library" to see how to use that specific method using the meraki library).

Hello. Im trying to get the config templates for a given organization using the "getConfigTemplates" endpoint. However, when I run the Python command for this, I get a 404 response. I then tried to retrieve the data for that specific organization and once again received a 404 response. I checked, and using the "getOrganizations" endpoint I can see that the info for the organization, and the fact that it is API enabled. I'm using an admin API key. What could be happenning here? Why can I see the organization using "getOrganizations" but not when using the "getOrganization" endpoint? Thanks!

Hello! Currently I'm using an ansible playbook (paired with the cisco.meraki collection) to disable a setting in a network. When I try to do it with a certain network however, I get the following error: {"changed": false, "msg": 404, "response": "OK (unknown bytes)", "status": 404, "url": "https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/7087539913.../configTemplates"} The module that I'm using is "cisco.meraki.meraki_network", so I never explicitly called the "configTemplates" endpoint, but I kept digging. I manually retrieved the info for the network that I want to configure and I noticed that the ID for its container organization is indeed "7087539913...". When I tried retrieving the info for the "7087539913..." organization however, I got a 404 response. Maybe the organization was not API enabled? Checked using the "getOrganizations" endpoint and it is API enabled. What could be happenning here? The organization that I want to retrieve info from is API enabled, but when I tried to use the "getOrganization" endpoint, I get a 404 response back. I'm certain that my API key should be able to retrieve all info from the Meraki API as well. Does anybody know what could be going wrong?

Hello, Im using the python package to handle the Meraki API. I want to get the organization bandwidth usage history, but when I try to call the function suggested in the documentation, I get the error: "dashboard.organizations has no attribute getOrganizationClientsBandwidthUsageHistory". I have checked the references for said function, and the method is actually inside the "Organizations" class, its just that when the "organizations" object gets created, and you print its attributes no "getOrganizationClientsBandwidthUsageHistory" method exists according to the object instance. After this, I tried to use a regular request to get the data, but only the first call gets a response back and the rest just return an empty string. What could be happening here? Maybe an old version of the Meraki API? I really want to get that data. Is this endpoint deprecated or something?
