Cannot get the API to work when using an EC2 server
-
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

Thanks Martijn, there was a simple error in the code that got discovered.
All good now, but thanks for the reply

Hi Andrew,
I'm also using EC2 instances to pull data from the Moz API but I don't have had any issues. Are you sure the script is working, what kind of programming language are you using/ script to pull the data in?
Martijn.

Moz Api Integration with Google Data Studio
I want to automate my competition research process. Right now my competition research is completely manual which is ok if working in a small project. Usually, start looking at Google for the best sites for a specific niche. In an excel sheet insert the URL in a column and start to put information in next columns, information such as DA, PA, backlinks, page speed, schemas validation and stuff like that. As I mentioned for a small project I usually take 10 websites as a reference to analyze how difficult can be rank a website. The problem starts when I have to scale when I have to evaluate 100 or 200 or even more websites in different niches or target location or industry. Does not make sense keep doing manually. So my question is there any way to connect the Moz API to Google Data Studio or Google Sheet

Is Url-Metrics Historical data available via API?
Hi, we're using Url Metrics API. We were wondering if we could access historical data. Like for example passing the date to query. Currently on the api docs this ability is not listed. Thanks!

API Limit Question
Hi, I am unfamiliar with API's in general but never had an issue with being throttled until today. I used the api a lot heavier today which is why. According to the API dashboard I made 5100 "requests" today and 21,000 "rows returned". I am using a MOZ PRO account and have been throttled as a result. I am wondering when does it reset? Is it a daily, weekly, or monthly limit that I hit and what is the limit? Thanks

Using excel to pull MOZ data about links
I have a list of links 500 in excel that I would like to get the number of backlinks, PA and DA for the relevant link, is there a pre-built excel sheet that utilises the Moz Api that can pull this data easily? Thanks!
