200-901 Practice Question: A developer is using Cisco Meraki API to retrieve…
A developer is using Cisco Meraki API to retrieve a list of networks. What is the correct HTTP method and endpoint path for listing networks in an organization?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the fundamental RESTful mapping of HTTP methods to CRUD operations, and the trap here is confusing the GET method with POST or PUT because candidates may think 'listing' requires sending data in the request body, when in fact GET is the correct method for read-only retrieval.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
GET /organizations/{orgId}/networks
The HTTP GET method is used to retrieve or list resources, and the endpoint /organizations/{orgId}/networks is the standard Meraki API path for fetching all networks within a specified organization. This follows RESTful conventions where GET requests are idempotent and safe for data retrieval.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
DELETE /organizations/{orgId}/networks
Why it's wrong here
DELETE is used to remove a network.
- ✗
POST /organizations/{orgId}/networks
Why it's wrong here
POST is used to create a new network, not list.
- ✗
PUT /organizations/{orgId}/networks
Why it's wrong here
PUT is used to update or replace an existing resource, not to retrieve a list. The correct method for listing networks is GET, which is idempotent and safe. This option is tempting because PUT is often used in Meraki API for creating or updating network configurations, and the endpoint path is valid for such operations. However, the stem explicitly requires retrieval, making PUT invalid for this read-only action.
- ✓
GET /organizations/{orgId}/networks
Why this is correct
Correct HTTP method and endpoint for listing networks.
