Problem reading 'status' from response

Tod1 — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 17:40:19 GMT

Sorry, I am new but am hoping this is the right place to ask this question. I am attempting to write a script to check the device status of Meraki switches and Access Point per site. The following code properly gets a response from the access points but I get a the following error on this line: print (status[0])['status']
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

Can anyone explain why?

import requests

import meraki

import json

import os, glob

import time

import getpass

# Get what to Search for:

site = input("Site: ")

Merakikey = getpass.getpass("Enter Meraki API Key: ")

# Initialize Meraki API session

dashboard = meraki.DashboardAPI(Merakikey)

# Get organization ID

organizations = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizations()

org_id = organizations[0]['id']

# Get devices in the organization

devices = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizationDevices(org_id)

# Find devices at the specified site

for device in devices:

if site.lower() in device['name'].lower():

print(f"Device Name: {device['name']}")

print(f"Model: {device['model']}")

print(f"Serial Number: {device['serial']}")

print(f"Firmware Version: {device['firmware']}")

if 'MS' in device['model']: # Check if it's a switch

# Get switch status

#status = dashboard.devices.getDeviceStatuses(org_id, device['serial'])

#print(f"Operational Status: {status['status']}")

elif 'MR' in device['model']: # Check if it's an access point

# Get access point status

status = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizationDevicesStatuses(org_id,serials = device['serial'])

# Current issue - We get the status but are not able to extract the information or print it. I think it is

# a string/list/dictionary issue. Once that is resolved this should work. The line above does get a proper return from

# Meraki.

print (type(status))

print (status[0])['status']

# Above line gets the error

#print(f"Operational Status: {status['status']}")

#else:

#print("Device type not supported for status retrieval.")

#print("----------------------")

What about

print (status[0]['status'])

instead of print (status[0])['status']

Maybe try something like:

for s in status:
  print(s)
