Recommendation for unidirectional communication with Marketo?

Question

Hi folks,In the past I remember seeing a piece of documentation that recommended a Server Side form post for unidirectional communication with Marketo. I don't see that documentation anymore. The document explained that using an API was overkill for unidirectional communication.Is there a recommended technique for getting this info into a Marketo system now? I see this post that makes it seem like use mkto.co/PushLeadToMarketoSlackbot Hates Server Side Post Appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.

Post to the Forms 2.0 endpoint from the client. It's a standard HTTP POST. If you weren't going to filter traffic going through your server anyway, this accomplishes the same thing only it's vastly more scalable.

"Unidirectional" communication is a bit general: all Marketo API endpoints are unidirectional channels, after all. If this data originates in a browser, you shouldn't use the any back-end API at all, instead using the Forms 2.0 API to post directly from the client to Marketo. It eliminates the DoS vulnerability of other approaches and is vastly more scaleable.

If you're talking server-to-server, the new Push Lead to Marketo endpoint is powerful, but I'd like to know what you're actually trying to achieve.
