HTTP Status Code 0

Hi,
I have over 1200 back-links in an excel 2010 spreadsheet and I have a trial account at Moz Analytics. I am trying to pull the HTTP Status Code of these backlinks from Moz using the SEOGadget for Excel tool [url: seogadget.com/tools/seogadget-for-excel/]. I am able to get the status code as 200 for some links but for most its 0. I am able to get some other info correctly so the problem is mostly with the HTTP Status Code retrieval.
Could you please let me know whats causing this and how I can fix this so as to be able to get correct HTTP Status Code for for a list of 1200 back-links automatically.
Thanks

It seems that the URL you asked me to run at OSE's home page should not be the back-link but the my site's link whose back-links I want? Is that correct?
Yes, that's correct.
It could be that you are seeing only links pointed to the URL. Be sure to use the filters and drop-down to choose "pages on this root domain" (see the attached screenshot)
Otherwise feel free to shot me the URL and I'll be happy to take a look.
One note: different indexes always list different URLs, even Google Webmaster Tools doesn't list a complete set of links to your site. Moz's index could be considered "medium" size. It doesn't contain every link to your site, but it contains the majority of the important ones.

Hi Cyrus,
Sorry for the delayed response.
I did as you asked me to and I was able to go to the next page (where I can set parameters to create a report).
It seems that the URL you asked me to run at OSE's home page should not be the back-link but the my site's link whose back-links I want? Is that correct?
The issue is OSE was able to find 34 back-links when I run my site's URL where as I have used different tools to find as many as 1200.
Any ideas on how to proceed?
-
Btw, all the 1200+ backlinks I have are to the same site but these backlinks have been accumulated using a variety of tools. Moz (no offense) does not show all these 1200+ backlinks but only some (or more) of them.
-
Mmm... Try running a URL first and then try the reports tab on the far right. Let more know if it works.
-
Thanks Guys.
Cyrus, for some reason when I click the 'custom report' link it leads me to the home page of OSE and at OSE's home page I can't seem to find a link of 'custom report' . I am using a free trial account of Moz Analytics btw.
PS: Its great to have come across you here just minutes after I downloaded your 'How to Rank' e-book

It's likely that if you are getting a "0" that indicates no data available.
Mozscape will only report the status code for pages it has actually crawled in the last index. If it hasn't crawled the page recently, it doesn't report the status code. (it still has link metrics for that URL because it can see and calculate all the incoming links to that page without crawling it)
If these are backlinks to a particular site, you should be able to get the same data using Open Site Explorer, and running a custom report to export the large amount of data.
Another option, if you actually want to crawl all of those links and return a status code is Screaming Frog.
The Frog has both a paid and free version, but it's one of the most useful paid tools I have ever used.Hope this helps! Cheers.

Probably an API rate limiting? I don't know that tool, don't know if it uses Moz's API or their own, but Moz's has a rate limit, and most likely that other one too, which could be causing that "0" response code (as that response does not exist aside of an ajax call return when the request fails).

Unsolved Help with API Error: "Query Not Found" for a Specific URL
Hi everyone, I'm trying to retrieve data for a specific URL using the Moz API, specifically the data.site.metrics.fetch method. The URL I'm querying is: https://www.fiftyfiveandfive.com/ai-agents-marketings-new-means-of-production When I make the API request, I receive the following 404 error: { "id": "unique-id-testing", "jsonrpc": "2.0", "error": { "code": -32655, "status": 404, "data": { "key": "site_query.query", "value": "https://www.fiftyfiveandfive.com/ai-agents-marketings-new-means-of-production" }, "message": "That query was not found." } } However, when I check the URL in Moz Link Explorer, I can see that the page has a Page Authority of 23 and a Domain Authority of 36, but no backlinks or ranking keywords. What I'm Trying to Achieve:
API | | Chris_Wright1664
I’m attempting to retrieve metrics for this page via the API, but it seems like the API does not recognise the URL, even though it’s visible in Link Explorer. Questions: Why does the API return "Query Not Found" for a URL that is indexed in Link Explorer? Is there a way to request Moz to crawl or re-crawl this URL to ensure it's accessible via the API? Are there any additional criteria the API requires (e.g., backlinks, ranking keywords) before it recognises a URL? Additional Info: I’ve verified that my robots.txt file allows all bots, including Rogerbot. list itemThe page is included in the sitemap, and the URL is accessible without any restrictions. list itemI’d appreciate any insights on how to resolve this issue or steps to take so that the Moz API can retrieve data for this URL.0 -
Unsolved MOZ API for domain authority
I am using the MOZ API to check domain authority (DA). Recently, I noticed a discrepancy: the DA value retrieved via the API differs from the result on the MOZ homepage. Specifically, the API returns a DA of 10, while the homepage shows "NO DATA." Additionally, other services like Ahrefs report a DA of 0. I relied on the MOZ API's result when purchasing this domain and now feel misled. I would like to understand the exact reason for this inconsistency.

Get DA/PA Bulk Mode
Hi, everyone. I want to know if you know any way to get DA & PA metrics with any software (not Netpeak Checker please, is very low) or any add-on for Google Sheet or Microsoft Excel (like Majestic has for Google Sheets). Up today any software works always and sometimes the results are not really. Please, team of MOZ and Community, help me. And team of MOZ, the SEOs around the world need a solution for this. We scrapped many domains every day for build our privates blogs networks and also for search opportunities for link our sites. Please, provide us anyway (software, tool in your suite, I don't know) for this essential function in the SEO World. Thanks!

What is Moz's Error.aspx?aspxerrorpath HTTP Status 302 error message?
Hi, I am not sure what this error message is: "Error.aspx?aspxerrorpath". It immediately follows pages that are given at 302 status in Moz's crawl report. The same pages have never had this error before: | http://www.homedestination.com/news/2013/Minneapolis-home-price-appreciation.html | | http://www.homedestination.com/mortgage-worksheet.html | | http://www.homedestination.com/foreclosure-eligibility.html | Each page has a 100% score with WC3. Could you give me more insight as to what Moz may suggest I do to give the page a 200 HTTP status as before? Thanks.
