200-901 Question 60
Single answerA network engineer wants to automate the process of retrieving real-time client statistics, such as signal strength and throughput, from devices managed by Cisco Meraki. Which API capability provided by Meraki would best suit this requirement?
- A
The Meraki Dashboard API
- B
The Cisco DNA Center Intent API
- C
The Meraki Webhook Alerts
- D
The Cisco IOS XE RESTCONF API
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The Meraki Dashboard API is specifically designed to provide programmatic access to Cisco Meraki network resources, including retrieving real-time client statistics such as signal strength and throughput. It allows developers to interact with Meraki-managed networks efficiently. Other options like the Cisco DNA Center Intent API or RESTCONF API are unrelated to Meraki device management, and Webhook Alerts are for event notifications, not data retrieval.
- A. Correct.
The Meraki Dashboard API provides programmatic access to real-time data and management capabilities for Meraki devices, making it the correct choice for retrieving client statistics.
- B. Incorrect.
The Cisco DNA Center Intent API is designed for managing and automating Cisco DNA Center environments, not specific to Meraki devices.
- C. Incorrect.
The Meraki Webhook Alerts are used to notify external systems of specific events, but they do not provide real-time data retrieval capabilities.
- D. Incorrect.
The Cisco IOS XE RESTCONF API is used for managing and automating devices running Cisco IOS XE, not for interacting with Meraki-managed devices.
