What is the best way to get port configurations from Meraki switches

I can see them all from the dashboard but really want them in excel or CSV, all the reporting seems very heavily wifi based, I am only interested in the actual port configs.

i hate to be the bearer of bad news but the only reporting i can get out of a meraki switch for something like port configs is by going to the switch's homepage in the Meraki network console and using the summary tab and sometimes the ports tab, then i add or remove columns .... then highlight all the columns and rows I want and paste them into notepad. It turns out that there are tabs in between after pasting ... so then you can generally import the text file as  tab delimited data. the ports tab looks like this:

and the summary tab looks like this:

you can use the little wrench symbol to rearrange and add/remove columns then go to the bottom and set the number of ports displays to 100 and then hightlight all the rows you want and paste into notepad, then go to page 2 and repeat, pasting each page to notepad.

There may actually be reports offered on the web gui but i haven't found them, either, so if you find them please let me know! And there is no way to do any command line session where you can just display the interface configurations and capture it from there, either.

Looks like the best answer, I had to do some manual cleanup but it worked, thanks!
