## Notes

Note

- More information about the Meraki API can be found at https://dashboard.meraki.com/api_docs.

- Some of the options are likely only used for developers within Meraki.

- As of Ansible 2.9, Meraki modules output keys as snake case. To use camel case, set the `ANSIBLE_MERAKI_FORMAT` environment variable to `camelcase`.

- Ansible’s Meraki modules will stop supporting camel case output in Ansible 2.13. Please update your playbooks.
