Learn SEOmoz API (and more)?
-
I'm sorry for this very basic question.
The reason why I'm asking is that I wan't to start to use SEOmoz API (and later on Majestic SEO etc.)
I have search on the web about API in general, SEOmoz specifically, in Q&A and asked around but:
I really can't get my head around what "set of skills" I need to know to be able use the SEOmoz API? And other APIs for that reason.Do I need a programming skills, or just knowledge how each specific API works(+ common sense)? Or both?
I'm sorry if this is off topic but the main reason why I'm asking is that I wan't to start to use the SEOmoz API.
If you could provide a link or two about where I can start to learn about how this works, I would really appreciate that!

You will generally need programming expertise, to write a program to pull and display the data from the API.

Thank you David, but I know there is well documented information about the API itself. I think this apiwiki is for someone that all ready understands the concepts of API.
The problem is not the information, the problem is that I don't really have a grip of what set of skills you need to work with SEOmoz (or Majestic SEO API.)
I'm sorry if I'm totally off topic for SEOmoz Q&A but I some one can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

SEOscar - I've not used the API myself, but there is some decent documentation, including a Getting Started Guide in the Mozscape section of the site. I'd be inclined to start there.
Check out the Wiki page as well: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/

Did Profiles on SEOmoz get de-indexed?
Hi fellow mozzers My profile page on SEOmoz has always ranked well for my full name "Jacob Eeckhout". Recently I noticed that it doesn't show anymore, even for the query site:seomoz.org "jacob eeckhout". Does anyone know what happened?

Can I calculate "Keyword Difficulty" metric using Mozscape API data?
We already have a web application that pulls certain metrics about websites using the Mozscape API, but we are wanting to extend the usefulness of this application to enable users of the app to pull "Keyword Difficulty" metrics in bulk, instead of one at a time (or 5 at a time). I wouldn't mind the 5 at a time limitation if we could just automate the API calls and let the tool pull data for 50 or so keywords without user-interaction. I know that it's a "formula", but I don't know what SEOMoz uses for it's formula. Has anyone figured out a way to calculate this, based on the Mozscape API data? Has anyone ever tried to reverse engineer this metric?

Our Duplicate Content Crawled by SEOMoz Roger, but Not in Google Webmaster Tools
Hi Guys, We're new here and I couldn't find the answer to my question. Here it goes: We had SEOMoz's Roger Crawl all of our pages and he came up with quite a few erros (Duplicate Content, Duplicate Page Titles, Long URL's). Per our CTO and using our Google Webmaster Tools, we informed Google not to index those Duplicate Content Pages. For our Long URL Errors, they are redirected to SEF URL's. What we would like to know is if Roger is able to know that we have instructed Google to not index these pages. My concern is Should we still be concerned if Roger is still crawling those pages and the errors are not showing up in our Webmaster Tools Is there a way we can let Roger know so they don't come up as errors in our SEOMoz Tools? Thanks so much, e

Excluding parameters from seomoz crawl?
I'm getting a ton of duplicate content errors because almost all of my pages feature a "print this page" link that adds the parameter "printable=Y" to the URL and displays a plain text version of the same page. Is there any way to exclude these pages from the crawl results?
