Meraki support for OAuth 2.0 client credentials workflow

Justin Reeve — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 09:54:20 GMT

Hi,

I have read the OAuth 2.0 integration guide and it describes configuring an OAuth Grant Flow. Is Meraki capable of supporting Client Credentials Workflow, and if so is there a guide available? The application I am integrating with doesn't support OAuth Grant Flow and I'd rather not use API keys.

Many thanks !

Hello,

We do not support client credentials grant flow.

We have plans to address this scenario differently, but no timeline yet.

Thank you @obrigg in that case I will need to use API keys. As there are only 2 API keys per account I will need to create an account per application so that they are not all sharing the same keys unless there are other methods of having multiple keys ?

Not at the moment. It's on my radar, but as I mentioned - I don't have a timeline to share.
