Can you look up API Method Name?

[Troy_Larson]

Hi there Marketo World, 

Have another question for the collective. We have 2 web service APIs that can create people in our instance: BrightTALK & Magento. 

I'm trying to figure out a good way to split the 2 of them so I can stamp the BrightTALK ones as BrightTALK and our Magento ones as Magento leads. 

The only thing I can see that is different is the API Method Name or Modifying User. However, I don't see those are fields that I can use. Has anyone else run into this issue/ have any ideas on how to accomplish this?

You can't differentiate unless 

• the remote API consumer populates a field with identifying info

or

• you can route one or both of the consumers through an intermediate gateway which can tag the traffic accordingly (by populating a field)
