Hi there,

I am stuck trying to get a list of lead fieldnames (Firstname, lastname, salutation, company etc.) using the API and the discussions about this topic only talked about geting a list of field names using the UI.

Any ideas on how to do this?

I have tried using the ParamsGetMObjects but using the paramsGetMObjects type = "Field" or "Fields" gave errors saying that "MObject type is unknown".

Here is the piece of code I am working with:

Marketo_WS_2_0.ParamsGetMObjects pgo = new Marketo_WS_2_0.ParamsGetMObjects();

Marketo_WS_2_0.MObjCriteria moc = new Marketo_WS_2_0.MObjCriteria();

moc.attrName = "*";

pgo.mObjCriteriaList = new Marketo_WS_2_0.MObjCriteria[1];

pgo.mObjCriteriaList[0] = moc;

pgo.type = "Field";

var resp = client.getMObjects(ws_header, pgo);

Thank you.

You can use the DescribeMObject API call to get back the list of API Fields. Specify LeadRecord as the objectName.

Here is a sample REQUEST/RESPONSE XML
