As far as I know, Marketo limits the number of REST API requests to 10,000 per day. Is there a way to overcome this limit? Can I pay and get more of those?
I found out that the REST API requests and the SOAP API requests counts separately but I'm trying to find a solution that is limited to REST API.
Moreover, in order to get an access token I need to sacrifice a request. I need to know how long this access token will be alive in order to save as much requests as possible.
You can increase your limit just by asking your account manager. It costs about 15K per year to increase your limit by 10K API calls.
Here are the default limits in case you don't have them yet:
Default Daily API Quota: 10,000 API calls (counter resets daily at 12:00 AM CST)
Rate Limit: 100 API calls in a 20 second window
Documentation: REST API
You'll want to ask your Marketo account manager about this.
I thought I would update this with some more information since I get this question a lot:
http://developers.marketo.com/rest-api/
Daily Quota: Most subscriptions are allocated 10,000 API calls per day (which resets daily at 12:00AM CST). You can increase your daily quota through your account manager.
Rate Limit: API access per instance limited to 100 calls per 20 seconds.
Concurrency Limit: Maximum of 10 concurrent API calls.
For the Daily limit:
Option 1: Call your account manager. This will cost you $'s. For a client I work for we have negotiated a much higher limit.
Option 2: Store and Batch your records. For example, you can send a batch of 300 leads in a single lead insert/update call. Which means you can insert/update 3,000,000 leads per day.
For the Rate limit:
Option 1 will probably not work. Your account manager will be reluctant to change this unless you a very large company.
Option 2: You need to add some governance to your code. There are several ways to do this, including queues, timers with a counter, etc. If you make multi-threaded calls, you will need to take into account concurrency etc.
Concurrent call limit:
You have to limit your concurrent threads to 10.
There are multiple ways to handle API Quota limits.
If you all together want to avoid hitting API limit, try to achieve your functionality thru Marketo Webhooks. Marketo webhook will not have API limits, but it has its own CONS. Please research on this.
You may use REST API, but design your strategy to batch the maximum records in a single payload instead of smaller chunks, e.g. sending 10 different API calls with each 20 records, accumulate the max allowed payload and call Marketo API once.
The access token is valid for 1 hour after authenticating.
Marketo's Bulk API can be helpful in regard to rate limiting as once you have the raw activities the updates, etc on the lead object can be done without pinging marketo for each lead: http://developers.marketo.com/rest-api/bulk-extract/ however be aware of export limits that you may run into when bulk exporting lead + activities. Currently, Marketo only counts the size of the export against the limit when the job has been completed which means you can launch a max of 2 concurrent export jobs(which sum to more than the limit) at the same time as a workaround. Marketo will not kill a running job if a limit has been reached so long as the job was launched prior to the limit being reached.
Marketo has recently upgraded the maximum limit
Daily Quota: Subscriptions are allocated 50,000 API calls per day (which resets daily at 12:00AM CST). You can increase your daily quota through your account manager.
Rate Limit: API access per instance limited to 100 calls per 20 seconds.
Concurrency Limit: Maximum of 10 concurrent API calls.

Is there a way to programmatically monitor the Request Unit utilization of a DocumentDB database so we can manually increase the Request Units proactively?
There isn't currently a call you can execute to see the remaining RU, since they're replenished at every second. Chances are that the time it would take to request and process the current RU levels for a given second would return expired data.
To proactively increase RU/s, the best that can be done would be to use the data from the monitoring blade.
I think you could try below steps:
Use azure cosmos db Database - List Metrics rest api from here.
Create Azure Time Trigger Function to execute above code in schedule(maybe every 12 hours). If the metrics touch the threshold value,send a warning email to yourself.
I am using the Google Calendar API to preprocess events that are being added (adjust their content depending on certain values they may contain). This means that theoretically I need to update any number of events at any given time, depending on how many are created.
The Google Calendar API has usage quotas, especially one stating a maximum of 500 operations per 100 seconds.
To tackle this I am using a time-based trigger (every 2 minutes) that does up to 500 operations (and only updates sync tokens when all events are processed). The downside of this approach is that I have to run a check every 2 minutes, whether or not anything has actually changed.
I would like to replace the time-based trigger with a watch. I'm not sure though if there is any way to limit the amount of watch calls so that I can ensure the 100 seconds quota is not exceeded.
My research so far shows me that it cannot be done. I'm hoping I'm wrong. Any ideas on how this can be solved?
AFAIK, that is one of the best practice suggested by Google. Using watch and push notification allows you to eliminate the extra network and compute costs involved with polling resources to determine if they have changed. Here are some tips to best manage working within the quota from this blog:
Use push notifications instead of polling.
If you cannot avoid polling, make sure you only poll when necessary (for example poll very seldomly at night).
Use incremental synchronization with sync tokens for all collections instead of repeatedly retrieving all the entries.
Increase page size to retrieve more data at once by using the maxResults parameter.
Update events when they change, avoid re-creating all the events on every sync.
Use exponential backoff for error retries.
Also, if you cannot avoid exceeding to your current limit. You can always request for additional quota.
Firestore offers 50000 documents read operations as part of its free bundle.
However, in my application, the client is fetching a collection containing price data. The price data is created over time. Hence, starting from a specific timestamp, the client can read up to 1000 documents. Each document represents one timestamp with the price information.
This is means that if the client refreshes his/her web browser 50 times, it will exhaust my quota immediately. And that is just for a single client.
That is what happened. And got this error:
Error: 8 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED: Quota exceeded
The price data are static. Once they have been written, it is not supposed to change.
Is there a solution for this issue or I should consider other database other than Firestore?
The error message indicates that you've exhausted the quota that is available. On the free plan the quota is 50,000 document reads per day, so you've read that number of documents already.
Possible solutions:
Upgrade to a paid plan, which has a much higher quota.
Wait until tomorrow to continue, since the quota resets every day.
Try in another free project, since each project has its own quota.
If you have a dataset that will never-ever (or rarely) change, why not write it as JSON object in the app itself. You could make it a separate .js file and then import for reading to make your table.
Alternatively - is there a reason your users would ever navigate through all 1,000 records. You can simulate a full table even with limiting to calls to say 10 or so and then paginate to get more results if needed.
Is there a way to request the 6 per minute limit increase for the calcHistogram method?
This limitation doesn't currently allow for any kind of development, testing let alone a production environment
I do not see at the moment any subscription option or upgrade or request limit removal
The Academic Knowledge API is still in preview and is subject to the transaction limitations on calcHistogram. We are in the process of adding a new tier with higher transaction limits, and these should be online in the next couple of months.
I am trying to get email(using get lead by id) of all leads retrieved from get lead activities call for a particular activity type using Marketo rest api calls. In some cases, I am getting "Max rate limit '100' exceeded with in '20’ secs" error message. In that case is there any data lost can occur?
The Marketo API is rate-limited to 100 requests each twenty seconds, so any calls made exceeding that limit will not be executed. Whether data can be lost is dependent on whether or not you can retry the call after you've gone back below to 100/20s threshold. If you're only trying ton retrieve activity records and not update any marketo-side records, then there should be no risk to you.
