public ip addresses used for API calls to my Meraki enviroment?

Hi all, I would like to limit the API access to my Meraki enviroment.  What public IP addresses does LM use to do the API calls to my Meraki enviroment?

    That would be your collector egress addresses. Generally the only LM-originated access would be from the website check source addresses (documented in the support site).

@mnagel is right.

The API calls are made from <??> to this Meraki-hosted dashboard (api.meraki.com/…..) which has continuous overview of the whole sd-wan with several 1000's of devices.

The <??> in your question is “the public IP address(es) of your collector(s) that the Meraki networks are assigned to”. Your collector reaches out to api.meraki.com with your creds to make the query and returns the data to the collector. The collector then ships that data back to the LM platform.
