Learn SEOmoz API (and more)?
-
I'm sorry for this very basic question.
The reason why I'm asking is that I wan't to start to use SEOmoz API (and later on Majestic SEO etc.)
I have search on the web about API in general, SEOmoz specifically, in Q&A and asked around but:
I really can't get my head around what "set of skills" I need to know to be able use the SEOmoz API? And other APIs for that reason.Do I need a programming skills, or just knowledge how each specific API works(+ common sense)? Or both?
I'm sorry if this is off topic but the main reason why I'm asking is that I wan't to start to use the SEOmoz API.
If you could provide a link or two about where I can start to learn about how this works, I would really appreciate that!

You will generally need programming expertise, to write a program to pull and display the data from the API.

Thank you David, but I know there is well documented information about the API itself. I think this apiwiki is for someone that all ready understands the concepts of API.
The problem is not the information, the problem is that I don't really have a grip of what set of skills you need to work with SEOmoz (or Majestic SEO API.)
I'm sorry if I'm totally off topic for SEOmoz Q&A but I some one can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

SEOscar - I've not used the API myself, but there is some decent documentation, including a Getting Started Guide in the Mozscape section of the site. I'd be inclined to start there.
Check out the Wiki page as well: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/

Is it possible to submit a page to the seomoz index?
We recently got added to dmoz and botw and would like to see those links considered in our domain authority as we are tracking our progress and comparing ourselves to other sites. Is it possible to submit links to the seomoz index manually to have those tracked? (If I am even understanding this correctly)

Has the relevancy of SEOmoz tools disappeared?
I have A rankings for my on-site grades for my most important keywords. I have no Critical issues and no Warnings with my Crawl Diagnostics. Most of the Competiive Link analysis data shows my site beating out the competition. If all this is accurate, how can my SERPs continue to decrease and lesser pages with terrible optimization and backlinking be ranking higher? I even have a facebook page beating me in the results. If there is nothing left for me to address using SEOmoz, and I keep getting worse & results, doesn't it mean that the SEOmoz tools are not relevant to producing actual results? Or, am I missing something?

How often does SEOMoz refresh their link analysis data?
I know that my link profile has changed within the last month, yet both SEOMoz campaign link analysis and Open Site Explorer have shown the exact same number of links for more than a month. Majestic SEO fluctuates as I would expect, but Moz data is unchanged.

SEOMoz SERP Overlay Vs. Opensite Explorer
This may be a simple answer, but when I search for a term and see a website on the SERP, the SEOMoz tool bar shows link data beneath the link. For this site in particular, it shows 300+ links for the root domain and for the page, it shows 8 links. When I put that website in opensite explorer, it shows the same data for the "Page" stats (8 links from 3 root domains), but nowhere can I find where the 315 links from 4 domains comes from. So my questions is why do those links show in the SERP overlay, but not in OSE? il5y9.png

SEOmoz bar causes FF to hang
I use FireFox as my browser on a Windows pc. When I close FF it rarely closes properly. The process is still visible in the task manager. I need to end the process to shut it down. After researching the issue I learned this problem is usually caused by an add-on. I disabled my add-ons one at a time and it is clearly the SEOmoz bar causing the issue. I can run every other add-on without any problem but if I use the mozbar but itself, the issue occurs. I plan to report this problem to the help desk but first I wanted to ask if others are experiencing the same issue. The more data that can be collected, the easier it will be to resolve the problem. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

How to work round issue with SEOMOZ not supporting SSL?
I have a website that it running via SSL, to secure the website, to reassure the customer is browsing (and so will be purchasing) on a secure website, and to show off the green address bar which many of my competitors do not have. However in my campaign I am getting on Links showing, with my rank reporting '1', surely this cannot be! I asked a Help question, and the only response was: "Unfortunately, we don't currently support https for our linkscape crawls. This is definitely something that we plan to implement in the future though! I hope that helps and I apologize for any inconveniences!" This definately does not help.. Is there any way of working around this issue, or will I be forced to cancel my SEOMOZ membership?
