Meraki Adding Network via API

Netmart — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 05:48:06 GMT

Hello,

I tried the following on Cisco DevNet Sandbox to add a network and received the following error:

$ python3 Meraki_Post_Network2.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "Meraki_Post_Network2.py", line 11, in <module>

requests.post ("/base_url" + org_id +"/organizations",

File "/home/cisco.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/requests/api.py", line 115, in post

return request("post", url, data=data, json=json, **kwargs)

File "/home/cisco/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/requests/api.py", line 59, in request

return session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs)

TypeError: request() got an unexpected keyword argument 'networks

Meraki_Post_Network2.py

import requests

import meraki

import json

base_url = "https://n583.meraki.com/"

org_id = "CiscoDevNet"

api_key = "37d5d077d3f88d947e94ed4fad5a388f4cb689b2"

network_name = "New Network"

requests.post ("/base_url" + org_id +"/organizations",

headers = {

"X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key": "api_key",

"Content-Type": "application/json"

networks = json.dumps ({ "name": network_name,

"type": "wireless switch"

}))

I would appreciate, if someone could please take a look.

Thanks,

Hey @Netmart the error you're encountering is because the requests.post function doesn't have a keyword argument named "networks". Guessing it would be something like this, please test this.

import requests import json base_url = "https://n583.meraki.com/" org_id = "CiscoDevNet" api_key = "37d5d077d3f88d947e94ed4fad5a388f4cb689b2" network_name = "New Network" url = base_url + "api/v1/organizations/" + org_id + "/networks" headers = { "X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key": api_key, "Content-Type": "application/json" } data = { "name": network_name, "type": "wireless switch" } response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data) print(response.text)

Thank you Stuart.

After revising the code as suggested by you I made some progress, but still received the following error:

"{"errors":["The following required parameters are missing: 'productTypes'"]}

There may be other ways to solve this missing parameter; I did it the following way:

import requests

import json

base_url = "https://n583.meraki.com/"

org_id = "1423679"

api_key = "37d5d077d3f88d947e94ed4fad5a388f4cb689b2"

network_name = "New Network"

url = base_url + "api/v1/organizations/" + org_id + "/networks"

headers = { "X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key": api_key,

"Content-Type": "application/json" }

data = { "name": network_name, "type": "wireless switch", "productTypes": ['appliance', 'switch', 'wireless'] }

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers,json=data)

print(response.text.encode('utf8'))

I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks,

Netmart
