Linkscape API having bugs
-
Hi,
We are using the SEOMOZ Linkscape API (url-metrics and links) but the the API is not working well. We are sometimes (without any proveable reason) getting an http error with code 401. Like I said earlier it happens sometimes really often and sometimes just once.
What could be the reason for this?
We have an account with the following login seo@traffic-builders.com.
Thanks in advance!

I'm sending request each 10 seconds, so it should be ok, but thanks for the advice. I will forward this post to that mail adress.

You should direct this question to api@seomoz.org or put in a support ticket.
However, there are strict rate limits on the API, so there is the potential that you are making requests too quickly.

API for On Page tool
I'm looking for a tool similar to On Page Grader (Moz) or Focus Keyword (Yoast) with API. We are building out or internal CRM system. Even though none of these tools can replace manual on page analysis, it will be used as a metric and to catch human mistakes.

Couple of Moz's bugs
There are still some bugs in a new Moz: I can still find a lot of mentions of "SEOMoz", for example: in a footer, in a Q/A form (SEOMoz Resources), in a new question form (SEOmoz PRO Application, SEOmoz Tools, etc.) On a main form (http://moz.com/pro/home) sometimes my full name is not visible at all, sometimes my MozPoints are hidden (on a left top corner); There is not direct link from http://devblog.moz.com/ to a main website; Regards.

Followerwonk API (401 Unauthorized)
I am trying to use the Followerwonk api and I have changed the C# code from the MozscapeAPI code here for it to work as it uses the same encryption etc. https://github.com/QueryClick/MozscapeAPI The problem I am having is that I generate the correct link but I still get back 401 Unauthorized from Followerwonk it works fine on Mozscape API. https://api.followerwonk.com/social-authority/?screen_name=maximillion195;AccessID=member-NWQyZTI1M2EtMWUyZC01NDJhLThmZW;Timestamp=1368030369;Signature=PxK24AP7cgXMMVhzrU8NSRtSI%3D (I have changed the member ID and Signature) The Link looks right and it defiantly hashes it correctly and the timestamp is set for 20 minutes in the future, Can anyone explain why this is not working. Thanks

API callback parameter
I'm using the free API, and would like to use jQuery to fetch the JSON data outputted by the API. I need to make a JSON-P request, and for this I need to be able to pass some form of callback parameter in the url. I'd like to know if this feature is available, and if so what parameter I need to specify in my request. Of course I could just CURL to the API, but that's really a fallback for if I can't get the data using JS. Thanks

Campaign data via API
I am currently in the process of building an in house system for managing our clients SEO campaigns. One of the features that we will be including is a customer login where clients can view their reports and site progress. We plan on providing rankings and traffic stats within this which we will collect on a weekly basis to store historical changes. While I could integrate into analytics for traffic and create my own web crawler for rankings, this seems a waste since I already have that data in one central location. Looking through the moz API details it seems to have lots of functions for links but nothing relating to the campaigns. Is there any way or are there any plans to open up campaign data to an API? If I could do this I would certainly upgrade to allow each client to have their own campaign.

A suggestion to help with linkscape crawling and data processing
Since you guys are understandably struggling with crawling and processing the sheer number of URLs and links, I came up with this idea: In a similar way to how SETI@Home (is that still a thing? Google says yes: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/) works, could SEOmoz use distributed computing amongst SEO moz users to help with the data processing? Would people be happy to offer up their idle processor time and (optionally) internet connections to get more accurate, broader data? Are there enough users of the data to make distributed computing worthwhile? Perhaps those who crunched the most data each month could receive moz points or a free month of Pro. I have submitted this as a suggestion here:
