Unsolved How to get Domain Authority using API ?

[adrianTNT]

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:

1. 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.
2. Make an API Request to Retrieve Domain Authority
   The Moz API’s Link Explorer endpoint can provide Domain Authority data.

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-metrics

We 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.
