Question

SOAP getMultipleLeads slow - 2 leads / s

We have about 85,000 leads in Marketo. We're trying to retrieve those leads using the SOAP API 'getMultipleLeads' using a large time window (for instance, '10 years ago' to 'now'), to get them all. Each 1,000 lead window takes about 8-10 min to return. That's ~10 hours for all 85k leads.

Is that the expected rate when using 'getMultipleLeads'?

By comparing, the REST API seems to be much faster, though, it does not expose a strict equivalent of SOAP's 'getMultipleLeads'.

Thanks,

Damien

You'll want to reduce your window for updated at to much much smaller for the API to return in a reasonable time.  Try paging through blocks of 1 week at a time and adjust from there.  Setting 10 years ago to now, means that it's querying that entire time, and ruining your response times.

    Thank you Kenny, that makes sense.

    I need to get the total number of leads up front. Would you recommend I do a getMultipleLeads over the last 10 years (expensive) and then retrieve the leads by using a more reasonable time windows (such as a week)?

    You certainly could do that, though I would question why you would need that at all if you're determined to sync all records anyway.
