Which URI with the request body of Request body: {"name":"Test","organizationId":"<org_id>","type":"appliance"} creates a new Meraki network called "Test", when using APIs?

Options

• APUT https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/organizations/<org_id>/networks
• BPOST https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/networks
• CPOST https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/organizations/<org_id>/networks/<net_id>
• DPOST https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/organizations/<org_id>/networks

Explanation

To create a new Meraki network called 'Test' within a specific organization using APIs, an HTTP POST request must be sent to the /organizations/<org_id>/networks endpoint with the network details in the request body.

Common mistakes.

• A. The PUT method is generally used to update an existing resource or replace it entirely, not to create a new resource within a collection.
• B. This URI is missing the organizationId path parameter, which is essential to specify under which organization the new network should be created.
• C. This URI includes <net_id>, which implies an operation on an existing specific network, typically for updates or retrieval, not for creating a new network within an organization's collection.
