200-901 Cisco Platforms and Development Practice Question
A developer is using the Cisco Meraki Dashboard API to manage network devices. The developer needs to retrieve the list of organizations and then the list of networks within a specific organization. Which two API requests are required to accomplish this task? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming a global /networks endpoint exists, but the Meraki API always scopes networks under an organization.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
GET /api/v1/organizations/{organizationId}/networks
To list organizations, use GET /api/v1/organizations. Then, to list networks within a specific organization, use GET /api/v1/organizations/{organizationId}/networks with the organization ID from the first response. These two calls together accomplish the task.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
GET /api/v1/organizations/{organizationId}/networks
Why this is correct
This request retrieves the list of networks within the specified organization. The organizationId is obtained from the previous call. The response includes network details such as ID, name, and type. This is the correct endpoint to list networks for an organization in the Meraki Dashboard API.
- ✗
POST /api/v1/organizations/{organizationId}/networks
Why it's wrong here
This request creates a new network within the organization. It requires a request body with network details and is not used for retrieval. The developer needs to list existing networks, so a GET request is appropriate, not POST.
- ✗
GET /api/v1/organizations/{organizationId}/devices
Why it's wrong here
This request retrieves devices within an organization, not networks. While devices are part of the network, the task specifically asks for the list of networks. Using this endpoint would return device information and not satisfy the requirement to list networks.
- ✗
GET /api/v1/networks
Why it's wrong here
This endpoint does not exist in the Meraki Dashboard API. Networks are always scoped to an organization, so the correct path includes the organizationId. A GET to /api/v1/networks would return a 404 error because the API requires the organization context.
- ✓
GET /api/v1/organizations
Why this is correct
This request retrieves the list of organizations that the API key has access to. It is the first step to obtain the organization ID needed for subsequent calls. The response includes an array of organizations with their IDs and names. Without this call, the developer cannot know the organization ID.
