The base URL should be the same as the “Endpoint” and “Identity” URLs but with the “/rest” or “/identity” removed from the end e.g.

The values for the base URL, Client Id, and Client Secret can be found from the authentication section in the Marketo API docs.

Create 4 variables to contain the base URL, Client Id, Client Secret, and Bearer Token.

Click “Add” in the pop-up window that appears.

Marketo Environment & Variables in Postman To get access to my Marketo REST API Postman collection, which contains 100+ pre-configured requests that you can import into Postman and start using right away, then fill out the form below 🙂 This way you can test that you are making the API request correctly and you can see what the output response from this request will look like. Testing the Marketo API using Postmanīefore integrating any API call into a script or an automation tool like Zapier, I recommend testing the API call out first in the free API testing tool, Postman.

The Marketo REST API landing page has everything you need to get started by showing you how to set up an API user and get the “Client Id” and “Client Secret” needed for authentication. Marketo API Documentationįor anyone looking to do any sort of automation in Marketo, the Marketo REST API documentation will become your bible, allowing you to retrieve information about leads and assets (landing pages, emails, programs) or modify them programmatically. Consequently, I will focus on the Marketo REST API for the remainder of this post. Marketo also has a JavaScript API but this API is used for enabling features like lead tracking, form data capture, and personalization on your Marketo landing pages or website and cannot be used to interface with leads and assets. Although Marketo has a SOAP API, it is no longer under active development and their developers are focusing on the REST API moving forward. You can learn how to make your first GET and POST requests in Postman below.Īccording to how the APIs are configured they will adhere to certain protocols and be defined as a certain type of API e.g. I will instead offer as layman a definition as possible.īasically, an API is a collection of urls (called endpoints) to which you either retrieve information from (GET request) or post information to (POST request). 7 What can be automated with the Marketo API?Īnyone can Google the technical definition of an API and what it does so I won’t go into that here.

3 Testing the Marketo API using Postman.# The request name should match the Postman request name. Pokeapi_requests = postman._get_requests(collection=pokeapi_collection) Pokeapi_collection = postman._get_collection(name='PokeAPI', collections=collections) Thereby allowing you to manage your api calls using postman, then automate and process their response using python.Įxample: from pypostman.postman import Postmanįrom import RequestĬollections = postman._get_collections(dir=collections_dir)

Pypostman is a command-line interface that allows to automate multiple api calls from postman collections, additionally it also allow you to compress and save the response to a local directory or to an AWS S3 bucket.
