Typical OauthFlow:(example is github)

  1. Redirect users to request access
  2. Service redirects back to your site(with code) after user approves
  3. Use code to get access token to access the API

Marketo OAuth Flow:

  1. Auth path is undocumented or does not exist
  2. cannot redirect back because auth path does not exist
  3. provides an Identity url which accepts a client_id and client_secret in return gives the access token for the provided client_id and client_secret??? this makes no sense
