# CISCO Meraki
As an Admin with integrations permissions, you can sync your occupancy data via Meraki.
When using Meraki for occupancy this means your real-time occupancy data will be synced with the gospace AI platform for AIDRA to learn and improve your forecasting for smarter space allocation.
To begin, click on "Meraki - location occupancy data" for real-time occupancy on the integrations page. You'll then see the below.
Organisation ID
To retrieve your organisation ID:
1. Log into Meraki
2. Go to `https://dashboard.meraki.com/api/v0/organizations` and get the Organisation ID of your organisation. Your id is returned in the id, for example `[{"id":"1234567"}]`.
3. Go to `https://dashboard.meraki.com/api/v0/organizations/{organization_id}/networks`, entering the Organisation ID you just retrieved, and get the desired Network ID
For further help please refer to the CISCO Meraki documentation [here](https://oomnitza.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4410608649111-Creating-an-extended-integration-for-Cisco-Meraki-assets#:~:text=Obtain%20your%20Cisco%20Meraki%20Organization%20ID%20and%20Network%20ID,-To%20get%20started\&text=Go%20to%20https%3A%2F%2Fdashboard,%22%3A%221234567%22%7D%5D%20.): API key
Obtaining your Meraki API key
In order to interact with the Dashboard API, you must first obtain an API key.
* Open your Meraki dashboard: [https://dashboard.meraki.com](https://dashboard.meraki.com/)
* Once logged in, navigate to the *Organization > Settings* page.
* Ensure that the API Access is set to “Enable access to the Cisco Meraki Dashboard API”
For further help please refer to the CISCO Meraki documentation [here](https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/authorization/#obtaining-your-meraki-api-key):
If everything looks good, click "Continue" to create your Meraki integration. gospace will then test the connection to your Meraki server and verify that it can successfully authenticate and access the specified file path. If the connection test is successful, your Meraki integration is ready to start mapping to sync your occupancy data.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.gospace.com/integrations/connecting-an-integration/cisco-meraki.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
