Can the API Filter Links with Certain Anchor Text?
-
I am trying to get all links that have a certain strings in their anchor text: I am using the python library: https://github.com/seomoz/SEOmozAPISamples/blob/master/python/lsapi.py
Looking at the documentation, it says I can get the normalized anchor text by using the bit flag 8 for the LinkCols value:
https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-api/mozscape/api-reference/link-metrics
So I tried this:
links = l.links('example.com', scope='page_to_domain', sort='domain_authority', filters=['external'], sourceCols = lsapi.UMCols.url, linkCols=8)
But it doesn't return the expected 'lnt' response field or anything similar to the anchor text. How do I get the anchor text on the source URLs?
I also tried 10 for the linkCols value, to get all the bit flags in the lf field as well as the anchor text. In both instances (and even with different variations of targetCols & sourceCols), this is all the fields that are returned:
'lrid', 'lsrc', 'luuu', 'uu', 'luupa', 'ltgt'

Hi Nathan,
I am the manager of the team looking after the API. I am sorry that snippet does not seem to work. I'll get one of the team to have a look at that fist thing in the morning.

Just noticed it appears the python links library is broken right now. I will try another language.

API - Row Limit Question
Hi, I'm new to using Moz, and have just got a "Low volume" API account set up. My question is, because ive not yet reached my maximum "Rows per month" limit, what behaviour happens when i reach it? Do i get an error code, if so what, and whats the status code. If not, does my account keep downloading the rows and i get charged extra (in accordance with the cost of the additional rows)? Or is the whole additional rows think like a bolt on? Basically i want to make sure i dont get charged extra each month, and i need the status code returned to handled this in my app. I couldnt see anything explicit in the documents. Cheers

Can't remove "insights" section from report.
The items in the "insights" section of the Moz report have an "x" which can be clicked in the designer to dismiss this data from the report. However, these items still shows up in the report anyways. Buggy. How can we work around this bug?
