The link metrics documentation can be found here: https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-api/mozscape/api-reference/link-metrics
Great example for url-metrics!

However, what is the API call for getting backlinks?

How to cost is calculated in Moz API for fetching only backlinks
I am unable to understand which particular API used to get the backlinks. And how cost is calculated. Suppose I Hit the API one time it gave me 100 backlinks of a particular domain. Does that mean i used 100 rows?

Can the API give the same data as the UI?
What I mean is, I'm not that interested in counts. What I'd like to figure out is how to get the API to give me what the UI gives me , so that for a given target domain I can download a report with the following fields: URL
API | | StevePoul
Title
Anchor Text
Spam Score
PA
DA
Linking Domains to Page
Target URL
Link Type
Link State
Date First Seen
Date Last Seen
Date Lost
HTTP Status Code
Links to Page
Outbound Domains from Page
Outbound Links from Page
Operator profile That's essentially the same as a CSV report generated by clicking on the "Export CSV" button. I could ,I suppose, get someone to write something in Selenium to enter a domain, click on the button and hang around on the notifications page for the results but I'd really rather not.1 -
Sample API call error
from mozscape import Mozscape client = Mozscape('xxxxx', 'xxxxx') # Now for some anchor text results anchorResults = client.anchorText('http://www.moz.com') # Or for just specific columns anchorTermResults = client.anchorText('http://www.moz.com', cols=Mozscape.ATCols.term) this is the error I am getting **mozscape.MozscapeError: HTTP Error 403: Permission denied: fpalgkadgnamhiblgpakemcfeedbebdcfk** My python is installed in appdata/local/programs and it is an enterprise environment.

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.
