API - Row Limit Question

[MattHopkins]

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

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your response. Thats a pain! It would be nice to see this as a feature in the future. I'll tweak my app accordingly.

Cheers.

Hey There,

Currently the only way to know when you have reached your row limit is to monitor the API Dashboard - https://moz.com/products/mozscape/usage . You would then want to cease from pulling more rows for that month, or risk overage charges of $10.00 per 10k rows. Let me know if there are any other questions on this. I am the API Account Manager, so feel free to reach out directly - IanW@Moz.com

Cheers!
