Tableau Rest API and Marketo

Hi

We  have just linked up Marketo and Tableau via the REST API.

How are the calls made is it per record every time a query is refreshed?

If I understand your question.  The calls are typically made in batch.  and each call can access up to 300 Marketo records per send.

Does that make sense to you, or are you asking something else?

I am asking this because I think that the Rest API calls are metered by Marketo and trying to figure if this method of connection will easily take us over the metered amount or wether we should use an ODBC connection. Our database is around 100k.

This question is probably better posed to tableau, since they control the connector and know how it uses API calls.

    The connector will run in batch - it will be VERY Easy for you to go over the limit - especially if you want to bring back activities - which I am not sure it can do?

    For anyone interested in Tableau and Marketo, I'd like to share that our new version of the connector is available for feedback. We'd love to hear if it works for you and how we can improve it. The new version supports all data it is possible to retrieve from Marketo that customers have told us they'd like to visualize in Tableau.

    As @Neil Robertson-Ravo​ notes it is very easy to exceed your API limit unless you have increased it, so please be aware of this if you decide to try the new connector. Marketo has been improving this situation by releasing a bulk API that reduces the number of API calls but we've not yet had the change to adopt it.

    Best,
