Hi @yogesh_biyani ,

 

There is no functionality available in Bulk Activity Export to filter based on field.

 

Marketo do offer to get lead changes based on fields (but it is not bulk), for that you can refer https://developers.marketo.com/rest-api/endpoint-reference/lead-database-endpoint-reference/#!/Activities/getLeadChangesUsingGET

 

Thanks,

Arun Sharma

@arun_sharma9  Thanks for the reply.

 

Lead changes can work but we need the changes for 20k lead ids so we will have to write a script and be cognizat of the API call limits.

 

On the other hand, since we only need the changes I can limit the bulk export fields to “fields”: [“leadId”, “attributes”] and reduce the export size. Do you know if the 500MB export limit applies to the query or the actual download?

You can filter /leadchanges.json by a Static List ID. Yes, you'll need to paginate still, which consumes an API call per 300 records (not lead records, activity records).

It's the download bytes (not clear what you mean by "the query").
