How to call a lead in a specific partition through Marketo API?

Question

Hi everyone, 
 
My marketo account has multiple partitions (partition A, partition B, partition C, etc). I am trying to create a python program that will get me certain data about leads in partition B. 
 
I have the below code that's setup and working but the leads in the results don't belong to partition B and I'm not able to find any data with leads IDs that belong to partition B. 
import marketorestpython.client
import requests
import json
from marketorestpython.client import MarketoClient

munchkin_id = "munchkinID"
client_id = "clientID"
client_secret= "clientsecret" 
args = {'grant_type': 'client_credentials',
        'client_id': client_id,
        'client_secret': client_secret}
host = f'https://{munchkin_id}.mktorest.com'

# Enter your Marketo API credentials here
marketo_client_id = client_id
marketo_client_secret = client_secret

# Get the lead id from the user
lead_id = [21286327]

# Create a Marketo client object
mc = MarketoClient(munchkin_id, client_id, client_secret)

# Get the activity log for the lead
activities = mc.execute(method='get_lead_activities', activityTypeIds=["2", "1"], sinceDatetime='2023-04-23T02:41:00Z')

# Filter the activities to only include activities for the lead with the ID 20017335
filtered_activities = list(filter(lambda activity: activity['leadId'] == lead_id[0], activities))

# Print the filtered activities
for activity in filtered_activities:
    print(activity)
 
Do you guys know if I'm missing out on some detail here as to why leads from partition B are not showing up? OR better yet, is there a way to filter data with the partitionName or partitionID?

First up, you need to get the correct lead id that you're using to filter the activities endpoint's output. It appears that you're using this Marketo REST Python package in your code. This package has a method to Get Multiple Leads by Filter Type, in this method, you can specify the Partition Id of Partition B so people in Partition B are returned. I've posted a sample Get Multiple Leads by Filter Type method with the filterType set to leadPartitionId and the partition Id set to "2" (you'd need to update this to Partition B's Id in your case). Once you have correct Lead Ids, you can then use them to filter your activities data. 🙂

lead = mc.execute(method='get_multiple_leads_by_filter_type', filterType='leadPartitionId', filterValues=['2'], fields=['firstName', 'middleName', 'lastName'], batchSize=None)

Also, use the following function to get the Id of all the partitions present in your instance:

lead = mc.execute(method='get_lead_partitions')

Here's the reference of it in the GitHub repo as well.

I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.
