Integrating AP Inventory

There are a few components that need to be collected from Mist. They include:

  • Organization ID

  • API Key

  • Adding a Degree Analytics Read-Only User

Below you will find detailed information on how to retrieve this information and insure it requires the minimum necessary permissions.

 

Getting the Mist Organization ID

The organization id can be found after logging into https://manage.mist.com

To get the Organization ID, go to OrganizationSettings. You will then have the option to copy the Organization ID per the screen shot:

Getting an API Token

1. Navigate to Settings

On the OrganizationSettings Page, scroll down to API Token and click Create Token

2. Create an API Token

  1. Name the token DegreeAnalytics or something similar to identify it as belonging to Degree Analytics.

  2. Select the Observer role

  3. Select All Sites if full campus, or can distinguish and name individual sites as necessary

NOTE: This API Token is used for retrieving AP Inventory information, so only a read-only Observer role is needed
