How to get the total external links to a page and total external links to the domain using Mozscape API? I could not see an option in the bit flags
-
Hi,
I was trying to get the data for total external links to a page and total external links to the domain using Mozscape API but I can't see a bit flag which can do that. There are bit flags for external followed links to a page and external followed links to a domain but I wanted the total external links data, is there a way to do that using Mozscape API else I would end up copying the data manually from OSE which would be cumbersome and time consuming.
Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks for the email id! I will drop a mail. I would update the thread as soon as I get a response. Appreciate your response :).

Gotcha, looks like Mozscape doesn't provide "just" internal or nofollowed for a subdomain. Too bad. Perhaps someone from SEOmoz will notice this post and respond with whether or not they can provide that information via API. Otherwise, you might want to drop them a line at help@seomoz.org.
Good luck, looks like you are working the API to the bone!

Thanks again George!
The formula in your response would give me external nofollowed links + internal links to the subdomain. I wanted to have Total External links (followed + nofollowed) linking to the subdomain. Though this value is visible in the comparison metrics of OSE under subdomain metrics, it does not seem to have a bit flag defined in Mozscape and I was trying to find a work around by adding/substracting the URL metrics parameters but the data seems to be insufficient to do that. Still digging in to this to find a solution else at the end I would have to manually plugin the data in excel sheets which would be a pain.
I am using JsonpathonURL to get these metrics in excel sheet.

Ah ok, do you think Links to Subdomain (bit flag value:4294967296 - Total links (including internal and nofollow links) to the subdomain of the URL) minus the Subdomain External Links (bit flag value:64 - The number of juice-passing external links to the subdomain of the URL) will give you the number of NoFollowed links?
Edit: updated second bit flag

Thanks for the response George!
I was looking at the metrics page earlier. My problem is related to the total external links to a page and total external links to a subdomain. I am able to set the bit flags and get the external followed links to a page as well as to the subdomain but I want to find out if I can get the total external links (followed + nofollowed) excluding the internal links. I was able to find the external links to a page using the formula:
Total Link (uid 2048) - Juice Passing links (ujid 256) = NoFollowed Links
NoFollowed Links + External Links (ueid 32) = Total external links
But I cant do this for Total external links to the subdomain. I know its a bit complicated but I hope you got the picture

Hello HQP,
You should be able to find this information here: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/url-metrics.
The total juice-passing (followed) external links to a page should have a bit flag value of 32.
The total juice-passing (followed) external links to a root domain should have a bit flag value of 128.
You can also get the total juice-passing (internal or external) links to a page with a bit flag value of 256.
Hope this helps!

Seo moz has only crawled 2 pages of my site. Ive been notified of a 403 error and need an answer as to why my pages are not being crawled?
SEO Moz has only crawled 2 pages of my clients site. I have noticed the following. A 403 error message screaming frog also cannot crawl the site but IIS can. Due to the lack of crawling ability, im getting no feed back on my on page optimization rankings or crawl diagnostics summary, so my competitive analysis and optimization is suffering Anybody have any idea as to what needs to be done to rectify this issue as access to the coding or cms platform is out of my hands. Thank you

Getting your site totally indexed by SEOMOZ
Hi guys! Ijust started using SEOMOZ software and wondered how it could be that my site has over 10.000 pages but in the Pro Dashboard it only indexed about 1500 of them. I've been waiting a few weeks now but the number has been stable ever since. Is there a way to get the whole site indexed by SEOMoz software? Thanks for your answers!

Which Google API do you use to creat a rank checking tool?
I can't seem to work this one out. Basically I want to make a very simple rank checker tool something similar to http://www.mikes-marketing-tools.com/ranking-reports/ where a user simply type in a domain and a keyword and in return is shown the position within the results. The problem is I can’t work out which API's I need in order to build it, does anyone know what I need to poke about with? It must work with Google and ideally with Bing and the rest
