An overview of the current functionalities available in both Marketo Engage and Adobe Analytics to get data from the former to load into the latter in an automated fashion.
Adobe Analytics offers two methods for loading large amounts of data into its database: a private FTP site for uploading delimited flat-files (up to 50 MB), and API endpoints for directly posting the data. Both sources go through the same internal pipeline once uploaded and are merely different entry points for the data.
As with Marketo Engage, Adobe Analytics has both synchronous options for inserting real-time data, and asynchronous bulk import options for loading large quantities of data in a flat-file format.

print(response.status, response.reason)

The best solution for asynchronously loading large amounts of data is to setup a Data Source that will allow for the upload of flat files. This API support calls in both REST ( JSON) and SOAP (XML). As with the Data Insertion API, the endpoint will be unique and can be created by Adobe ClientCare.
There are three kinds of Data Sources that can be created: Traffic, WebLog, and Generic. While they use different endpoints, the creation process is the same for all three.
Data imported for the current day should be available about 2 hours later; data for the previous day takes about 3 hours.
