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

Useful data combinations

  • Devices + Networks — Use a Join transformation on network_id to see which devices belong to which network, including the network's name and type.

  • API requests + Admins — Join on admin_id to 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

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 tags on networks) may be empty arrays if no tags have been applied in the Meraki Dashboard
