Speeding up Marketo Custom Object deletion - 14M records!

Hi folks! I'm tackling a task of deleting over 14M records from one of our custom objects in Marketo, and the API is running a bit slow — only processing about 2,000 records per hour. Anyone have tips or tricks for speeding this up? Maybe a more efficient approach or method that’s worked for you in similar situations?

@cagarwal,

are you making sure you are sending the objects to delete through in batches?

Deleting objects will be a bit slow, but batching them should make it more efficient. The API call allows for a list of object IDs to be passed through. I'm presuming you can send through 300 at a time as per usual with Marketo.

Nice, that’s 300 times faster! Looks like batching is doing the trick. Still a lot to wrap my head around Marketo API, though! Appreciate it!
