This 200-901 practice question tests your understanding of infrastructure and automation. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A developer is using the Meraki API to retrieve a list of networks for an organization. Which HTTP method and endpoint should be used?
GET /organizations/{organizationId}/networks
Correct endpoint and method to list networks.
POST /organizations/{organizationId}/networks
Why wrong: POST is used to create, not list.
GET /networks
Why wrong: This path does not include the organization ID and is not valid.
PUT /organizations/{organizationId}/networks
Why wrong: PUT is typically used to update, not list.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
GET /organizations/{organizationId}/networks
The Meraki API uses RESTful conventions where retrieving a list of resources is done with a GET request. The endpoint GET /organizations/{organizationId}/networks returns all networks belonging to a specific organization, as documented in the Meraki API reference. This matches the standard pattern for listing child resources under a parent resource.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
GET /organizations/{organizationId}/networks
Why this is correct
Correct endpoint and method to list networks.

POST /organizations/{organizationId}/networks
Why it's wrong here
POST is used to create, not list.
GET /networks
Why it's wrong here
This path does not include the organization ID and is not valid.
PUT /organizations/{organizationId}/networks
Why it's wrong here
PUT is typically used to update, not list.
Common exam traps
Cisco often tests the distinction between HTTP methods (GET vs POST vs PUT) and the necessity of proper resource scoping (including the organization ID), so the trap here is assuming a flat /networks endpoint exists or that POST can be used for retrieval.
Detailed technical explanation
Under the hood, the Meraki API enforces organization-level scoping for all network operations, meaning the organizationId path parameter is mandatory for security and multi-tenancy. The GET method is idempotent and safe, ensuring that repeated calls do not change server state, which is critical for monitoring and automation scripts that poll network lists. In real-world scenarios, a developer might use this endpoint to dynamically discover networks before performing operations like configuring VLANs or applying firewall rules.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A small business has 20 workstations on the 192.168.1.0/24 network and one public IP from its ISP. The router uses PAT (NAT overload) so all 20 devices share one public address using different source ports. NAT questions test whether you understand the four address terms and which direction each translation applies.
