API Module - Versioning Confusion

[NJNetworkGuy100]

I'm a bit confused by the API Module Versioning...

2026 - Meraki Portal What's New & Changelog - Cisco Meraki Developer Hub

This site shows Version 1.70.0 as the May 2026 release.  This site has always been my go-to for figuring out what API calls are available and how to use it.  

Now, here in PyPI and Github:  meraki · PyPI    GitHub - meraki/dashboard-api-python: Official Dashboard API library (SDK) for Python · GitHub

It shows version 3.1.0 as the current version.

If I try to use PIP to install the latest Meraki API module version for my Python install on my laptop, it will install 3.1.0 as the latest version, not 1.70.0. 

Can someone explain to me what's going on here?  Why the differences between the two sites?  I'm finding the use of the terms "library" and "module" is being used interchangeably, which is where my confusion is coming into this.  

Can someone explain this in better detail to me about the differences in versioning between sites?

Hi ,

3.1.0 is the version of the SDK / Python module

1.7.0 is the version of the OpenAPI Spec of Meraki's API. 

I might have used the wrong terms , but essentially they are 2 different things

This is correct; they are different software with different versions. For more information, please see VERSIONING.md.
