Hi,

We are looking at integrating Wistia, a video analytics tool launchpoint partner to our Marketo using the SOAP API. However we have converns over giving open access to our database through the API and want to restrict this to one-way traffic only, which is all Wistia requires. Does anyone know a what of doing this?

Thanks

I would ask Support on both sides how their code works. If this kind of security is a concern, you may want to put in some middleware.

It depends a bit on how wistia uses the API and what data it can import. What's your real concern here?

Hi Josh,

Thanks for your response. Our main concern is becuase we hold Government data we cannot give access to data to any third parties. Wistia only push cookie informaiton through the API, but becuase the API is open it does give them access.

I will look into the middleware option.

Thanks

Yes, you may have to push data to Boomi or another tool, then to another database, then have a one way update process to field blocked fields or even tertiary fields to avoid potential data overwrites.

Or just have Wistia push a file to you for upload.
