Meraki Developers,

Meraki Gurus,

I am using python to extract the dashboard client information.  The developer's documentation (found here) shows the api access url to be:

url = "https://dashboard.meraki.com/api/v0/devices/{{serial}}/clients"

What does "serial" mean in this context? Do I need to tap into a different api to acquire a serial number for a device perhaps?

Sorry for asking such a rudimentary question, but I haven't been able to track it down in the documentation.

For anyone following this thread:

To find a serial number to test with, go to the live Meraki Dashboard. Under "Security Appliance"-->"Appliance Status", you will see the Serial number.  Use this value when building the URL.  The example above is incomplete  because this method does require that a timespan is supplied.  The true URL will look something like this:

https://dashboard.meraki.com/api/v0/devices/QQQQ-ZZZZ-YYYY/clients?timespan=86400
