Unsolved How to get Domain Authority using API ?
-
I wanted to test the API and while looking on the documentation urls, I cannot find details on how to get Domain Authority.
- is that not available to query ?
- was it replaced by Brand Authority ?
- is it only available for the paid API or for the free one too ?
I looked at many documentation pages but I find it very confusing and frustrating, there are many versions of the documentation and various URLs and not clearly labeled, I understand some are V1, V2, V3, etc, but I didn't find sample API calls for Domain Authority.
Thank you.

To get Domain Authority (DA) using an API, you can use services from providers like Moz, Ahrefs, or Semrush, which offer APIs that include domain authority and similar metrics. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get Domain Authority using the Moz API, one of the most popular tools for this metric:
- Register for a Moz API Key
Go to the Moz API page at Moz API.
Sign up for an account and generate an Access ID and Secret Key. You’ll need these credentials to authenticate your API requests. - Make an API Request to Retrieve Domain Authority
The Moz API’s Link Explorer endpoint can provide Domain Authority data.
- Register for a Moz API Key

You can get Domain Authority using APIs like Moz, SEMrush, or Ahrefs by integrating their API with your system.

SEMrush: They provide a different metric, “Authority Score,” which is available via API with a SEMrush subscription.
Free Domain Authority Checkers: Some free tools offer DA lookups, but they may not provide API access without premium plans. -
Hi there @adrianTNT
Sorry for the confusion, we have new shiny methods to call DA being released shortly, until then you can use the current V2 API - https://moz.com/help/links-api/making-calls/url-metricsWe have more info on using the Moz API and limits here https://moz.com/help/links-api

"How can I find Domain Authority details through the API?"
Or, if you want a more detailed question:
"Is Domain Authority available to query through the API, or has Brand Authority replaced it? I checked multiple documentation versions (V1, V2, V3, etc.) but couldn't find a clear answer. Could you clarify if Domain Authority is only accessible via a paid API, and provide sample API calls for it if available?"
This should encourage a clear response on whether Domain Authority is supported, if Brand Authority is a replacement and details on the access level required.

Unsolved Api limits on free plan
Good afternoon. I tried connecting free access to api https://moz.com/help/links-api/v1-archive/v1-free-api-access to retrieve DA data. After several requests to the api I got a message: "Your monthly row limit reached" Can you tell me what this error is related to? Or Moz doesn't have free api access anymore?

Mozscape API Updates (Non-updates!) - becoming a joke!
This is the 3rd month in succession where the Mozscape index has been delayed. Myself and clients are losing patience with this, as I am sure many others must be. Just what do you suppose we tell clients waiting for that data? We have incomplete and sometimes skewed metrics to report on, delays which then get delayed further, with nothing but the usual 'we are working on it' and 'bear with us'. It's becoming obvious you fudged the index update back in January (see discussion here with some kind of explanation finally from Rand: https://moz.com/community/q/is-everybody-seeing-da-pa-drops-after-last-moz-api-update), and seems you have been fumbling around ever since trying to fix it, with data all over the place, shifting DA scores and missing links from campaign data. Your developers should be working around the clock to fix this, because this is a big part of what you're selling in your service, and as SEO's and marketers we are relying on that data for client retention and satisfaction. Will you refund us all if we should lose clients over this?! .. I don't think so! With reports already sent out the beginning of the month with incomplete data, I told clients the index would refresh April 10th as informed from the API updates page, only to see it fudged again on day of release with the index being rolled back to previous. So again, I have to tell clients there will be more delays, ...with the uncertainty of IF it WILL EVEN get refreshed when you say it will. It's becoming a joke.. really!

Does Moz's crawlers use _escaped_fragment_ to inspect pages on a single-page application?
I just got started, but got a 902 error code on some pages, with a message saying there might be an outage on my site. That's certainly not the case, so I'm wondering if the crawlers actually respect and use the escaped_fragment query parameter. Thanks, David.
