ReportMagic

[Meraki.Query:]NEW

Executes an arbitrary Meraki Dashboard API v1 query against the selected Meraki Connection.

Purpose

Executes an arbitrary Meraki Dashboard API v1 query against the selected Meraki Connection. List endpoints return a JArray (fully paginated), single-object endpoints return a JObject; both are ready for the Json.* and List.* macro families.

Compatibility

The macro can be used in all input document types and in Report Studio.

Usage

Specify the query as everything AFTER the Meraki API root https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/ - for example 'organizations' or 'organizations/{organizationId}/appliance/uplink/statuses'. A leading slash is ignored. Paginated list endpoints are retrieved in full automatically (you do not handle startingAfter / endingBefore cursors). The method defaults to Get; Post, Put, Patch and Delete are only permitted when the Meraki Connection's 'Read Only' flag is cleared. An HTTP 429 is retried automatically honouring Retry-After. On a non-success status the macro fails (setting failureVariable / failureText if supplied), while storeHttpStatusAs / storeHeadersAs still capture the status and headers.

Parameters (108)

Mandatory (1)

Parameter	Type	Purpose	Options	Default
query	String	The Meraki Dashboard API v1 query - everything after /api/v1/. Leading slash is ignored.	N/A	N/A

Behaviour (11)

Parameter	Type	Presence	Purpose	Options	Default
calculate	String	Optional	Post processing formula. Use {value} for the macro output, e.g. {value}/1024.	N/A	N/A
desiredExecutionResult	List<ExecutionResult>	Optional	If specified, asserts the expected execution result of the macro. Accepts a single value or a semicolon-separated list of acceptable values (e.g. 'Success;Warning'). The macro executes normally; if the actual result matches any of the desired values, the result is converted to Success. If the actual result does not match, the result is converted to MacroError with a descriptive message. This is primarily used for testing and diagnostic purposes. Valid values are: 'Unknown', 'Success', 'MacroError', 'WorkerStopped', 'Running', 'Warning', 'NeverRun', 'Cancelled', 'Pending', 'Paused', 'SystemError', 'Deferred' and 'Stopped'.	Cancelled Deferred MacroError NeverRun Paused Pending Running Stopped Success SystemError Warning WorkerStopped	N/A
errorOnOverflow	Boolean	Optional	Should NCalc expression evaluation throw error on Overflow	true false	true
expectedType	String	Optional	If specified, asserts the expected output type of the macro result. The macro executes normally; if the actual type does not match, a macro error is generated. Requires 'storeAs', 'storeAsHidden', or 'storeFormattedValueAs' to be set for typed validation. Valid types include CLR names (e.g. Int32, Int64, Single, Double, Boolean, String, JArray, JObject) and C# keyword aliases (e.g. int, long, float, double, bool, string, uint, ulong, short, ushort, byte, sbyte, decimal, char, object). The special value 'Number' matches any numeric type.	N/A	N/A
expectedValue	String	Optional	If specified, asserts the expected output value of the macro result. The macro executes normally; if the actual value does not match, a macro error is generated. When 'storeAs' or 'storeAsHidden' is set, the stored variable value is compared. Otherwise, the document output text is compared.	N/A	N/A
hidden	Boolean	Optional	Whether to hide the macro output.	true false	false
if	String	Optional	The condition that must be true in order for the macro to be executed/evaluated. Must either evaluate to true or false, for example: "3+5=8" or "contains('abcd', 'z').	N/A	true
mode	MacroMode	Optional	The mode in which variables are stored. In the legacy mode (default for Schedules), the variable created is a string and formatted. In the normal mode (default for Report Studio), the output variable is stored as a strongly-typed theObject, e.g. an Int32 or a List etc., rather than a formatted string.	Legacy Normal	Legacy
obfuscation	ObfuscationType	Optional	Obfuscation type. Use obfuscation to write reports where sensitive data is hidden. When used, ReportMagic guarantees that the same input string will map to the same output string for the whole of the report (but the next time the report runs, it will most likely map to a different value). If you use obfuscation, the property in your macro will not show up and instead, you will see a fake item of the obfuscation type chosen.	None UkTown DeviceName Company IpAddress PrivateIpAddress	None
redact	Boolean	Optional	Whether substituted variables are hidden from macro results (and the word 'REDACTED' will appear in progress screens and elsewhere in the web UI).	true false	false
warning	String	Optional	If specified, adds a warning message for this macro. This is processed as an NCalc, and the warning message will ALWAYS be present and will be the value of the evaluated NCalc expression.	N/A	N/A

storeFormattedValueAs	String	Optional	The name of the STRING variable to store the result as and output (both will use the same format) into the report.
