Meraki Dashboard API Confusion

Trying to get a list of devices through the Meraki dashboard API, however the list returns a 200 return code but no items. If I go into the dashboard website I see devices. What am I doing wrong? I'm doing:

To get Organization code:

curl -L -H 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key: <myKey>' -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'https://dashboard.meraki.com/api/v0/organizations'

To get list of Networks ID's:

curl -L -H 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key: <myKey>' -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'https://dashboard.meraki.com/api/v0/organizations/<myOrgID>/networks'

To prove the correct Network ID:

curl -L -H 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key: <key>' -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'https://dashboard.meraki.com/api/v0/organizations/<myOrgID>/networks/<myNetworkID>'

and this correctly displays the network details

To get device list from this network:

curl -L -H 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key: <myKey>' -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'https://dashboard.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/<myNetworkID>/devices'

However this comes back with no entries and a 200 return code.

Thanks for any help.

Tony,

I copied and pasted your curl statements and added my API key, but I saw no issues. I suggest trying with Postman (getpostman.com) just to check. If you still have a problem, please report it to the Meraki support team.

Thanks,

Colin

I have the same issue. When i try to load the list of devices, i get a 200 but an empty list. Response: []

Im able to read organizations and groups, but not the devices for a group.

i can not see what wrong, because if a change the group id to an invalid value, i get a 404 as expected.

Reading the network is no problem:

Reading devices fails:

On the console, i can see an active device:

Michael,

I believe that API endpoint only returns a list of *Meraki* devices within a network (switches, firewalls, APs, etc). If the network is *only* used for Systems Manager, then there are no Meraki devices and thus an empty list is returned.

Per the API, it looks like the endpoint you probably want is:

/networks/[network_id]/sm/devices

In the API docs, look under the "SM" heading
