Mozscape API Problem With Credentials
-
Yello everyone
Yesterday I generated Access ID and Secret Key to try the API, but it didn't work.
It's said that it might need 5 minutes, so I gave it something like 8 hours but it still didn't work afterwards.
I used the PHP sample and I checked it with the Sample Expires value and it produces the same Signature parameter as in the Sample Valid API Signature, so the PHP code sample and the Sample Valid API Signature are in sync.
In case you wonder - yes I changed the PHP sample by adding the valid strings for $accessID and $secretKey - I'm a long time programmer and I know what I'm doing with it.
I tried also the example URL from Sample Valid API Signature couple of times, refreshing each time to get new Expire parameter, but it's not working too.
Both the PHP sample and the Sample Valid API Signature are giving me this:
**{ "status" : "401", "error_message" : "Your authentication failed. Check your authentication details and try again. For more information on signed authentication, see: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/29574176/SignedAuthentication" }**
I am new here and if there is another place to look for support please just point it out and excuse me for wasting your time - I just couldn't see it and I really tried.
Thank you for your time to read this!

Well, obviously Rudy is a photography master.
Just... the photography masters don't create pics out of the blue - they are named masters coz they can expose something, say a shining smile of a wonderful person, without losing the touch and feel of it.
So once again - Rudy rullz!

So glad the API is working! And thanks for the compliments on the picture. Rudy Lopez, Jen Lopez's husband, took the picture for me. He's the one behind a lot of the pictures at SEOmoz and he does a great job.

Thanks a ton Keri!
Awesome pic btw.
And btw - I just tried it (the API, not the pic
and it's working now!
Thanks again!

Hi Calvin,
The best place for an API question is probably over at the API discussion forum at https://seomoz.zendesk.com/categories/6328-seomoz-apis-and-extras, or just sending an email to help@seomoz.org. A few users of the API are here, but those two places are your best options. Thanks!

Difference between SEOmoz Pro and Mozscape API
Hi, I probably put this question in a wrong category, so I'd like to ask again. I am new in SEOmoz and writing this from Japan.
Moz Pro | | flaminGoGo
I have couple of questions and really appriciate if you can help me to understand SEOmoz. better. First of all, what is the difference between SEOmoz Pro and Mozscape API? I signed up for 30days free trial and now continue being $99 PROmember.
Is that correct that rate limit is one request every 2 seconds with PRO? and also want to know about free API that I found after signed up for PRO.
Is there any restrictions on free API except for rate limit is one request every 10 seconds? The main reason I signed up for SEOmoz was to use the API link metrics, and because of the language I got really confused now.0 -
I keep getting Authentication Failed on the API
I have the credentials in the URL correctly but it will continue to fail authentication. I will not post them obviously but is there a problem with the API currently? I tried creating new credentials Also I have used this before so I am sure it is not a problem with the credentials. I somehow managed to get Chrome to show the data. Firefox will not and the code i have written also return authentication failed. This is a bug on your end. Please fix it ASAP.

Seomoz keyword difficulty api
Is there a way to get this from an api or a better method than pasting 5 keywords at a time into the keyword difficulty tool to get these numbers?

Problem with the keyword difficulty tool
sorry if this has been asked/been written about previously, I had a search but couldn't find anything. I am using the keyword difficulty tool to narrow down on some keywords and whilst the % score for each keyword is being displayed, the Google Adwords data is blank. It just shows the animation as if it was pulling the data but after some ten mins or so not data is pulled, just the animation still running. Is there a problem with the tool or does the problem lay at my end? Thanks, Carl

Inbound Links Report Problem
While looking over my competitors inbound link report, they have a reported 5K inbound links. The first 20 listed inbound domains are things like UPS, and other sites that when I look at them, and the source file has no link to their domain at all??? So are they using some kind of Black Hat technique, or is SEOMoz not reporting properly? Help please.
