Cannot create 'custom service'

For some reason, Marketo does not allow us to build a custom service - which means I cannot authenticate my account

and retrieve my authentication token. I tried to follow your tutorial Quick Start Guide for Marketo REST API but we don't have

the same UI as the one in your tutorial (link: http://developers.marketo.com/blog/quick-start-guide-for-marketo-rest-api/)

  • Issue: Step 6 of the tutorial which states Choose “Custom” service type, provide the display name...

Our version of Marketo does not allow you to select a custom service type which means we cannot get the authentication

token.

Also, I noticed that we do not have the Marketo Web Services tool either. I gather from your developers website it should

be available to us in the side bar menu of the Admin page. I have attached a screenshot of this also.

If anyone has any suggestions or alternative solutions please let me know.

Hi Joe,

Are you on the Spark version of Marketo? You can check this by visiting Help> Subscription Info in the top right corner of Marketo.

The ability to add a custom API only works on the Standard version of Marketo.
