We’re excited to announce the public beta of Push API, an event-driven alternative to repeatedly polling the Meraki Dashboard API.
API rate limits can make frequent polling difficult to scale, especially as network environments grow. Push API enables you to subscribe to supported topics and receive near-real-time updates through webhooks - helping reduce polling volume and preserve API capacity for other operational needs.
How it works
You configure an HTTPS webhook endpoint and subscribe your organization to a topic. When a qualifying change occurs - such as a device becoming unavailable or a configuration update - Meraki sends the event to your endpoint via an HTTP POST. Your application can process the update immediately instead of waiting for the next scheduled poll.
Push API also sends a Heartbeat message every five minutes, even when there is no event to report. This gives your system a regular signal that the delivery path is active.
The initial public beta includes:
