AttributeError: module 'meraki' has no attribute 'DashboardAPI'

Post by op-team »

Hi,

in order to API query our meraki dashboard. I have installed the module meraki (pip install meraki)

[nagios@nvs-nagios-01 ~]$ python
Python 3.9.21 (main, Dec 5 2024, 00:00:00)
[GCC 11.5.0 20240719 (Red Hat 11.5.0-2)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import meraki
>>> dashboard = meraki.DashboardAPI(apikey)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'meraki' has no attribute 'DashboardAPI'

>>> dir(meraki)
['__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__spec__']


As you can see above, i get "AttributeError: module 'meraki' has no attribute 'DashboardAPI'
My server in a Redhat9.5

any suggestion/help please

Thanks

Curious what version of the Meraki API pip is installed and what version of the API it ends up using. I found this https://community.meraki.com/t5/Develop ... m-p/216163 link, and following the link in the last post it is evident that there are multiple versions out there.
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Just trying it myself, I'm unable to reproduce your problem:

Code: Select all

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import meraki
>>> dashboard = meraki.DashboardAPI("ABCD")

Howver when I use a Cent9 system with python 3.9.21, i get the following:

You may need a newer version of python.
