Marketo API Eating Up Salesforce

[Anonymous]

In SFDC I can see Marketo is using the API call nearly 700 times per day and usage is increasing. Is there a way to see what those 700 calls are exactly? I need to put a stop to this since it's killing our other integrations. Thanks

Thanks. But how do I acquire the list of all the API calls Marketo has done in last few days or even last day? I need to find out where these are coming from and shut down the campaigns and run directly in SFDC using workflow rules or some other workaround.

Hi Christina, 

We had a very similar issue recently where Marketo was making our our API usage for the day, rending our other SFDC plug-ins unusable. Unfortunately, there is no way in your instance to see exaclty what is causing the spikes in usage. I had several calls with Marketo Support and that team even has difficulty pinpointing exacly what it is. They literally went through all of my programs to identify which were using up more calls. Needless to say it was furstrating. One good thing that came of it though is they were able to set an API call limit on our integration, preventing Marketo from eating up our API limit going forward. 

I hope this helps!

Hey Ashley,

Cool! So I can have Marketo restrict the number of APIs Marketo sends daily? Who does that? Me or support?

Support can set that up for you. We capped our Marketo usage at half of our total daily limit.
