Is there RESTful APIs supported in Marketo?

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I'm getting data so slowly by SOAP APIs, especially getMultipleLeads(). And for MObjects, batch size is only 100 at most. For the large number of the data I need, it costs too much time.
Is there RESTful APIs supported in Marketo? Could they cost less time when getting data?

Although the initial API is SOAP based, the infrastructure allows for future implementation of other protocols or 

models, such as REST. 

A list of matching MObjects, all of a single type, up to 100 in a batch indeed. The practical experience does not reveal a dramatic performance penalty though. The overall processing, according to my own tests, is a mix of server response time, network latency and my own local processes parsing the XML response. Java was slightly faster than PHP. I did not test other languages, namely non-Unix/Linux implementations such as C-sharp which I suspect might be slower.

Please keep in mind that reflects my own tests which may differ slightly from one environment to another.

Hi bgomes,

Does it mean that I can not use RESTful APIs yet?
Ok, I'll try something else. Thank you very much.
