Data Overview
Cisco Meraki exposes network infrastructure data across eight entities. Whether you're auditing admin access, tracking device health, or analyzing API usage patterns, Coupler.io can pull all of this into your reporting tool of choice.
Available entities
Organizations
Org name, ID, licensing info, and configuration details
Datacenters
Datacenter locations and network infrastructure metadata
Organization networks
Network IDs, names, types, tags, and time zones
Organization devices
Device serial numbers, models, firmware, status, and network assignment
Organization API requests
Timestamps, endpoints, response codes, admin IDs, and source IPs
Organization admins
Admin names, emails, roles, and account status
Organization SAMLs
SAML provider configurations and role mappings
Organization network settings
DNS settings, traffic shaping policies, and other network-level config

Useful data combinations
Devices + Networks — Use a Join transformation on
network_idto see which devices belong to which network, including the network's name and type.API requests + Admins — Join on
admin_idto map raw API logs to human-readable admin names and roles — useful for access audits.Devices across multiple orgs — Use Append to combine Organization devices from multiple Meraki organizations into a single unified device inventory.
API request volume over time — Use Aggregate on the API requests entity to count requests by day, admin, or response code for usage trend analysis.
Use cases by role
Export a full device inventory (model, firmware, status, network) into a spreadsheet for asset tracking
Monitor firmware versions across all devices to identify upgrade candidates
Track online/offline device status over time to spot recurring outages
Join devices with networks to understand which sites are affected by specific hardware
Audit admin accounts and roles to ensure least-privilege access is enforced
Review SAML configurations for IdP alignment during compliance assessments
Export API request logs to detect unusual access patterns or unauthorized API calls
Send admin and API logs to ChatGPT or Claude for anomaly summarization
Build executive dashboards in Looker Studio showing network coverage and device health by site
Track organization-level API usage to manage quota and identify integration issues
Combine data from multiple Meraki organizations using Append for a group-wide infrastructure view
Platform-specific notes
API access must be explicitly enabled per organization — devices and networks won't appear if the org API toggle is off
The API requests entity returns logs within the window defined by your start date; very long date ranges may return large volumes of data
Device status (online/offline) reflects a point-in-time snapshot at sync time, not a real-time feed
SAML configurations are only available if your organization uses SAML-based authentication
Some fields (like
tagson networks) may be empty arrays if no tags have been applied in the Meraki Dashboard
