Establishing a Connection
Both the REST and SOAP APIs are supported and can be chosen by using the Schema property.
For the REST API: The OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and RESTEndpoint properties, under the OAuth and REST Connection sections, must be set to valid Marketo user credentials.
For the SOAP API: The UserId, EncryptionKey, and SOAPEndpoint properties, under the SOAP Connection section, must be set to valid Marketo user credentials.
Connecting to the REST API
To connect to Marketo using the REST API the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and RESTEndpoint properties, under the OAuth and REST Connection sections, must be set to valid Marketo user credentials.
OAuth Authentication
OAuth Authentication with Marketo requires a custom service with REST API access.
Creating a Custom Service
A custom service is required to connect to Marketo using the REST API. The below steps will guide you in creating a custom service.
- Navigate to the admin area of your Marketo application.
- Click Users & Roles in the Security section.
- Select the Roles tab and click New Role to create a new Role.
- Enter a Role Name and select the permissions for the Role. The Access API permissions are specific to the REST API.
- Now that an API Role is created, select the Users tab and click Invite New User.
- Enter the new user information and select the role that was just created with API access. The API Only option can be selected to denote the user as an API Only user.
- Now that a new user has been created, a new service will need to be created. Click the LaunchPoint option (Admin -> Integration -> LaunchPoint).
- Click New Service.
- Select the Custom service type and enter a display name and description.
- Select the user you created.
Obtaining the OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret Values
To obtain the OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret, navigate to the LaunchPoint option on the Admin area. Click the View Details link for the desired service. A window containing the authentication credentials is displayed.
Obtaining the REST Endpoint URL
The RESTEndpoint can be found on your Marketo Admin area on the Integration -> Web Services option in the REST API section. Note the Identity Endpoint will not be needed.
Connecting to the SOAP API
To connect to Marketo using the SOAP API the UserId, EncryptionKey, and SOAPEndpoint properties, under the SOAP Connection section, must be set to valid Marketo user credentials.
These values can be found on your Marketo Admin area in the Integration -> Web Services option under the SOAP API section.
Customizing the SSL Configuration
By default, the provider attempts to negotiate SSL/TLS by checking the server's certificate against the system's trusted certificate store. To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert property for the available formats to do so.
Connecting Through a Firewall or Proxy
HTTP Proxies
To connect through the Windows system proxy, you do not need to set any additional connection properties. To connect to other proxies, set ProxyAutoDetect to false.
In addition, to authenticate to an HTTP proxy, set ProxyAuthScheme, ProxyUser, and ProxyPassword, in addition to ProxyServer and ProxyPort.
Other Proxies
Set the following properties:
- To use a proxy-based firewall, set FirewallType, FirewallServer, and FirewallPort.
- To tunnel the connection, set FirewallType to TUNNEL.
- To authenticate, specify FirewallUser and FirewallPassword.
- To authenticate to a SOCKS proxy, additionally set FirewallType to SOCKS5.
Troubleshooting the Connection
To show provider activity from query execution to network traffic, use Logfile and Verbosity. The examples of common connection errors below show how to use these properties to get more context. Contact the support team for help tracing the source of an error or circumventing a performance issue.
- Authentication errors: Typically, recording a Logfile at Verbosity 4 is necessary to get full details on an authentication error.
- Queries time out: A server that takes too long to respond will exceed the provider's client-side timeout. Often, setting the Timeout property to a higher value will avoid a connection error. Another option is to disable the timeout by setting the property to 0. Setting Verbosity to 2 will show where the time is being spent.
- The certificate presented by the server cannot be validated: This error indicates that the provider cannot validate the server's certificate through the chain of trust. If you are using a self-signed certificate, there is only one certificate in the chain.
To resolve this error, you must verify yourself that the certificate can be trusted and specify to the provider that you trust the certificate. One way you can specify that you trust a certificate is to add the certificate to the trusted system store; another is to set SSLServerCert.
