Setting Acquisition Program using API

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to set a leads' acquisition program if that lead is created using the API?

I am using the REST service and the create/lead operation.

Hi David, if you use API to send a lead into your program indicating : "Programme name"."List Name", then if it's a new lead, the field "acquied by" and "acquisition program name" well be set automatically by marketo.

This is set through the field acquisitionProgramId.  You need to know the ID of the program which you can get with the program api: http://developers.marketo.com/documentation/programs/get-program-by-name/ You should cache the results for program IDs wherever possible so that you're not hitting the program API unnecessarily
