Are EC2 servers blocked from using the Moz API?
-
Hi
I've created a script that I'd like to use to check a list of domains using the Moz API.
It works totally fine on my local machine.
However, when I run it from my EC2 instance, it fails every time. To be specific, the response is always empty (the response is an empty json array) when the request is sent from EC2.
Is, for some reason, EC2 blocked by the Moz API?
Many thanks for your help, Andrew

Sure thing! Good to hear. Good luck!

Thanks Aaron, there was a simple error in the code that got discovered (and yep, you're right, I was using old API keys as well).
All good now, but thanks for the reply.

Hey Andrew! Sorry you're having this issue. I tried to find your API key using this account that you posted from, but it doesn't look like it has an API key associated with it. Are you using the API key from a different account? Let me know and I'll be able to see if it's specific to your account. If you can post the code that you're using (you can remove the account-specific details), that might help us, too. Thanks!

Old moz pixel?
We recently switched our website to secure https and noticed there is a pixel still firing that is related to moz but have no idea what it is for. https://moz.com/products/Mozscape/api/keymaster/Mozscape/credentials It is serving a 401 error status and going to remove off the site. Any idea what that was for? Thanks -

The difference between api value and screen value
When I check the two parameters (PA and DA values) actually, these values often differ from those which I receive from your API. Why does it happen?

API - Row Limit Question
Hi, I'm new to using Moz, and have just got a "Low volume" API account set up. My question is, because ive not yet reached my maximum "Rows per month" limit, what behaviour happens when i reach it? Do i get an error code, if so what, and whats the status code. If not, does my account keep downloading the rows and i get charged extra (in accordance with the cost of the additional rows)? Or is the whole additional rows think like a bolt on? Basically i want to make sure i dont get charged extra each month, and i need the status code returned to handled this in my app. I couldnt see anything explicit in the documents. Cheers

Moz crawl error? DA & Linking domains significant drop.
Hi guys! Our site www.carwow.co.uk appears to have been punched in the face by the latest Moz update. It's claiming our #linking root domains has dropped from 225 to 135 and has subsequently hit our DA from 38 to 35. We haven't disavowed any links and our off-site strategy has been going well the past 2 months. Search performance has increased by around 15% (around 5k sessions) and rankings have improved week on week. Any idea if this is a Moz error? That's almost a 50% drop in linking root domains. Thanks, James
