getNetworkEvents working example with curl

Prodrick — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 18:59:15 GMT

I've been trying to use this endpoint but haven't had any success. I wonder if someone might share a working example executed with curl.

Hi,

Here is an example:

curl -L -H 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key: <Your-API-Key>' -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/networks/<Your-Network-ID>/events'

In the API documentation there is also an example of curl code.

Thanks so much. When I execute this for a network that I know has an appliance, this is what I get:

Have you tried the code that I sent to you?

On your Authorization Bearer, are you perhaps missing an apostrophe? Or is that just a result of the anonymisation?

I think the post stripped that out. Here's a screenshot. No error message, just a null response. Could there be something a customer has to enable in the Dashboard that I could verify via the API?

I really can't say what's going on. Perhaps try adding "&perPage=1000" after "appliance" on the URL?

I literally copied the curl command from this page, and followed the same process as I usually to to test endpoints. I copy the curl example, swap-out my API key and put single quotes around the call. I'm used to the API providing a useful error message, but in this case I get nothing.

The correct command.

curl -L -H 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key: <Your-API-Key>' -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/networks/<Your-Network-ID>/events?productType=wireless'

You have to add the productType

Ok, I got this working, but I don't know why the following command did not give me an incorrect API key response when I missed a character.

Thanks to all who helped.
