Paid API Access
-
We've been using your API on regular basis over the past few months, when lately we started having problems accessing the data it provides.I received an empty object when tried fetching info using the following URL:string sUrlToScan = "http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/url-metrics/"+sHost+"?AccessID=member-d73bd20330&Expires=1355756373&Signature=....";* Please note - I removed the Signature field for security reasonsI would really appreciate it if you could let me know why the service has stopped working.Is it because the 'Expires' is no longer valid?Could you please provide me with the up-to-date AccessID + Expires + Signature values so I could continue using your API?Thanks!

Definitely the wrong place to be trying to talk to the api guys. email api@seomoz.org
However it sounds like you are querying too quickly. As it turns out I was having a chat this week with a friend who was having a similar problem. You can only make 1 call per 10 secs (you can halve that time if you are a pro member and email them and ask). If you make a call every 8 seconds, you get 8 values back instead of 10 etc. so make sure you are giving enough time

Linkscape API Sort calls
I'm using Linkscape API plugin from SEO Gadget. It's all fine but I can't find any documentation on other 'sort' calls. The only request that I knows that works is "domains_linking_page". Any idea where this information is? I was hoping for a list of all the available requests I can and more particularly I want to sort it by Internal Linking Domains.

Domain_to_domain api call syntax
I am trying to construct an api call that lists the top authority link from each domain. This page_to_page call works http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/www.jbwebanalytics.com?SourceCols=4&TargetCols=4&Scope=page_to_page&Limit=400&AccessID=membexxx&Expires=xxx&Signature=xxx This domain_to_domain does not http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/www.jbwebanalytics.com?&Scope=domain_to_domain&Limit=400&AccessID=member-xxx1&Expires=xxx&Signature=xxx I'm plum out of ideas why? Anyone know? The Idea output is the single highest authority link for all linking domains thanks! Brian

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! Calvin Your Access ID:

HTC access 301 redirect rules regarding pagination and striped category base (wp)
I am an admin of a wordpress.org blog and I used to use "Yoast All in one SEO" plugin. While I was using this plugin it stripped the category base from my blog post URL's. With yoast all in one seo: Site.com/topic/subtpoic/page/#
Moz Pro | | notgwenevere
Without yoast all in one seo: Site.com/category/topic/subtopic/page/# Now, that I have switched to another plugin, I am trying to manage the page crawl errors which are tremendous somewhere around 1800, mostly due to pagination. Rather than redirecting each URL individually I would like to develop HTC access 301 redirects rules. However all instructions on how to create these HTC access 301 redirect rules are regarding the suffix rather than the category base. So my question is, can HTC access 301 redirects rules work to fix this problem? Including pagination? And if so, what would this particular HTC access 301 redirect look like? Especially regarding pagination? And do I really have to write a 301 redirect for each pagination page?0 -
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

Need assistance with tool development using SEOMoz & Google APIs
I don't know where the right place to ask this is, but I work for an SEO agency, and we are looking for someone to help us with development of some tools utilizing the SEOMoz API and probably the Google API as well. Does anyone know where I could find a person with some previous experience with development using these APIs? We've had poor luck just trying to use a developer without specific experience in this area or at least some SEO knowledge. If you're a developer and would like to talk with us, you can contact me directly if you prefer, rather than post your contact info publicly, but I welcome any helpful thoughts or ideas regarding development of SEO tools. Thanks,

Where do I find "URLs Receiving Entrances Via Search" and "Non-Paid Keywords Sending Search Visits" in Google Analytics?
These are two metrics highlighted in the "Organic Traffic Data" report in the PRO campaigns. Since this report is composed of data linked from Google Analytics, I bet there's a way to find this same information in GA. So...anyone know how to do that in Google Analytics? I want this information for some long-tail productivity/potential research.
