Generate and Retrieve Meraki API Key

Use this procedure to enable Security Cloud Control access to the Meraki dashboard with API access:

Before you begin

Review the notes and prerequisites in Onboard Meraki MX to Security Cloud Control

Procedure

Step 1

Step 2

Choose Organization > Settings.

Step 3

In the Dashboard API Access section, check Enable access to the Cisco Meraki Dashboard API. If you do not enable this option, you cannot generate API keys to onboard MX devices to Security Cloud Control.

Step 4

Click Save changes.

Step 5

On the Meraki dashboard, click your username and then click My Profile.

Step 6

Locate the API access header and click Generate new API key. Copy the API key, and paste it into a note until you are ready to use it. If you close the window or tab containing the API key before pasting it, you will lose access to the copied API key.

Note	You only need one API key per device. You can re-onboard a Meraki device without generating a new key.

What to do next

Continue to Onboard a Meraki Device to Security Cloud Control.
