Exporting Custom Object Records

[cagarwal]

Trying to export about 100K custom object records out of Marketo and my Python script is taking over an hour to export the data for ~100 records. Is this a normal snail's pace with BulkExportAPI, or am I missing something obvious? Any tips or tricks to speed things up (or hints to completely different approach) would be greatly appreciated!

For the curious, here’s a link to my script: https://pastebin.com/fd10iqBe

Not normal at all. What do you get if you switch to a date filter?

Thanks, Sanford, figured as much! Turns out I was being a dummy and forgot to queue the request. It's working great now with the updated code and I was able to export 100K records in under a minute with SmartList filter. Happy to drop the working code for the community if anyone needs it.
