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

Another question he launches is "When does the limit reset?" I have always have that doubt when reading the documentation. Is it monthly?

Hey there! This is Michael on the Moz Help Team! It looks like you exceeded your rate limit which typically occurs if your calls are batched in a way that cause a spike the way you saw on the 20th/21st. If you take a look at the Free vs Paid here https://moz.com/products/api/pricing you can get an idea on why the spike caused us to throttle usage. Which that having been said, I upgraded your API access to the "Pro" level (which doubles your rate limit with 1 request every 5 seconds) since you are a paid Moz Analytics customer. Keep in mind that you can monitor your usage in your account when you visit this page here https://moz.com/products/mozscape/usage. I hope this helps!

Can we get access to Moz's Rank Tracker via the API?
I'd like to be able to pull the results from Rank Tracker into my own application. Can I access it via an API? I don't see it anywhere in the Moz documentation, which is usually a clear answer. If not, how do you suggest to automate the inclusion of this data without, for example, being blacklisted?
