Why can't we access metrics in the API that are available in the mozbar?
-
For example, the Chrome/Firefox mozbar uses peid (Root Domain External Links) but the api doesn't allow this. I've done a little bit of reverse engeniering and it looks like the accessID for the mozbar (when logged in as a pro member) is "pro-xxxx". Does this mean that each pro account has its own accessid/secret key? If so, when will pro members have access to that?
I've created a tool that I use for deciding which expired domains to buy and it uses all of the free metrics - but I find myself having to do one extra step to get the peid (navigating to ose). It doesn't make much sense that the metric is available to me when I'm using the mozbar logged in as a pro member (which I pay for), but not apart of the API.

Hi Sean,
Please add your API feature requests to the API Feature request forum. We really do look at that when making product development decisions.
You make some great arguments here and I'd love to see them in our feature requests! http://seomoz.zendesk.com/categories/6328-seomoz-apis-and-extras

Unfortunately, the 'Site Intelligence API' (our non-free API) is an offering of ours that's separate from pro membership, and the metric you mention (peid) is not available in the free API. Here's a link to our pricing page for the Site Intelligence API: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/13991147/SEOmoz-API-Pricing.

Hi Sean - just FYI, I've assigned this to one of our engineers who works on Linkscape and the API, Chas. He should be around in the next 12-24 hours to provide a more detailed reply than I can give
BTW - love that your pic features a thumbs up... Kinda makes me want to give you an extra one.

Can we discuss Moz's Forecast? It's been over 100 degrees for a month.
Hey everyone! I just wanted to start a discussion on Moz's Forecast. If you haven't noticed, it has been over 100 degrees for an entire month now, which I have personally never seen before... Why do you think this might be happening? Any ideas or theories? I'd love to hear them!

Can anybody point me to an OSE tutorial blog on Competitive Analysis?
I came across a few blogs which got me started here on an SEOmoz Pro account and now I am working on building a competitive link analysis spreadsheet in Excel in order to identify how are competitors are beating us in Google rankings for specific keywords. One article I came across seemed to do exactly what I wanted, but the images are all broken and the downloads require a membership to some service I am not interested in: http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/how-are-they-beating-you-quick-seo-analysis-tools-part-1/ Anybody have any resources like this they can share? Thank you.

Site Explorer - No Data Available for this URL
Hi All I have just joined on the trial offer, im not sure if i can afford the monthly payments, but im hoping SEOmoz will show me that i also cannot afford to be without it! In my proses of learning this site and flicking through each section to see what things do. However when i enter my URL into Site Explorer i get the following message "No Data Available for this URL" My site should be crawl-able, so how do i get to see data for my site/s. I wont post my URL here, as the site has a slightly adult theme.

API Request Rate Problem
Hi there A Java app of mine worked perfectly until recently, when it gets "rate exceeds your current plan" errors from the API, although it does only 1 request in 10 seconds. Any idea what's wrong? Cheers, Chris

Why won't scheduled crawl of my site begin?
I currently have a campaign running on SEOMoz for over a month. It has been showing that a crawl was scheduled to start on 12/21. Now it's 12/23 and there has not been a new crawl, and it still says scheduled for 12/21.. Anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it? Thanks
