Location Data

[Ed Roche]

Good afternoon!

I request was brought to us on Friday about possible device location data. I see we do have the option enabled and the dashboard gives high-end info. Is it possible to get more specific data about the devices just through a normal API call and not have to setup a whole server for the data to be push to from the dashboard?

If not can someone point me to a good document on the setup and configuration of said server?

Thanks in advance!

Hi ,

What option are you refering to from the dashboard ?

[Ed Roche]

Location and Scanning Analytics

[Raphael_L]

The API Index only lists 4 endpoints for locationScanning.

Not sure if you can get the data you want via the API

[Ed Roche]

Yeah it looks like it only gives the settings and/or where data is being pushed to.....have you used the Location API v3 options yet? I am not sure where to start with the setting configuring the web server to receive the updates from the Meraki Cloud. Any info you can share?

Hey @Ed Roche

This might be a good place to start:

Ok thanks!

Are you talking about Systems Manager, or WiFi?

[Ed Roche]

WiFi...we had an issue a week or so ago with someone putting skimmers on 2 of our ATM machines. We are trying to see if we can get the individuals phone info like MAC address as evidence that they were there at that time.

The developer hub has a list of resources that will be a good start to setting up the server side. They are towards the bottom of the left hand navigation panel in the link below.

Ah, seeing @KH6 already provided the same link!
