1. Download repository and move to desired directory

3. Go to the Meraki Dashboard and generate an API key for yourself. If you need assistance on obtaining an API Key, please visit https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Other_Topics/The_Cisco_Meraki_Dashboard_API
4. Paste this value into the provided credentials.json file (if desired)
5. Run script. For instructions on running the script, read below
The script obtains its credentials in two ways:
- Imported from a JSON file using the --credentials argument
- Specifically designated using the --apiKey argument
To run the script, enter python[3] main.py [arguments] and the script will begin, requiring no further input
The script will output a dict that will list all the switches in your organisations, with each one having a "ports" entry which will have an "inUse" key against it, which will be true if a device is detected to be plugged in to it
