Set up Cisco Meraki Cloud for Integration
Set up Cisco Meraki Cloud for integration with IoT Security through Cortex XSOAR.
When Cortex XSOAR connects to the Cisco Meraki Cloud API, XSOAR must authenticate
itself by presenting a valid API key. XSOAR can use an existing Meraki Cloud API key
or you can generate a new key for it to use.
- Enable access to the Cisco Meraki Cloud API.
- Log in to the Cisco Meraki Cloud dashboard and select .
- In the Dashboard API access section, Enable access to the Cisco Meraki Dashboard API.

Generate an API key.- Click your username in the upper right of the Meraki Cloud dashboard and select My profile.
- In the API access section, Generate new API key.Meraki Cloud associates the API key with the user account you used when logging in to the Meraki Cloud dashboard and assigns the key the same permissions as this account.The API key provides authentication to all of the organizations that have the API enabled and that you have permission to access.

- Copy the generated API key and save it for use later when configuring an integration instance in Cortex XSOAR.Meraki Cloud does not store API keys in plaintext for security reasons, so copy and save it in a secure place now. If you lose the key, you must revoke it and generate a new one.
