Lesson Summary
Follow along as we get an introduction to APIs, the Marketo API, and Postman as we cover:
- What APIs are and why they are important
- Making your first GET and POST requests in Postman
- Making your first GET and POST requests in Python
- Making your first GET and POST requests in Zapier
Upon completing this lesson you will then know how to test any of the 100+ API requests in the Marketo Postman collection and then embed these requests in Python code or Zapier so that you can automate repetitive processes and streamline your workflows 💪
Expected time to complete: 120mins

Certification
If you complete all lessons 1-5, you can then get access to the “Congratulations” lesson by sharing a testimonial for this course on LinkedIn and sending me a message on Slack with a link to the post 😀 Then I will unlock the “Congratulations” lesson for you and you will get access to the coveted Marketo API Crash Course certificate.
Take a sneak peek at what your certification will look like and how you can create a certification on LinkedIn that you can share with your network 😉
Become an Automation Powerhouse
Once you master the Marketo API, you should unlock it’s full potential by taking the Python for RevOps and AI for RevOps courses so you can use it in Python scripts to build AI enhanced automations to save time, increase revenue, reduce errors, and make better decisions 🚀
I’m excited to see what you build with all the knowledge from this course so please tag me in any LinkedIn posts or send me an email or DM about the cool stuff you are building.
Don’t be a stranger!
