What does "ffspl" mean in a url-metrics result set?
-
So I've got this server-side JScript object I've declared which works nicely for us.
var mozObj = new MozInteraction()
.setMethod("GET")
.setHost("http://lsapi.seomoz.com")
.setPath("linkscape/url-metrics")
.setCols(parseInt("11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", 2))
.setLines(10)
.setAccessId(accessId)
.setSecret(secret)
.setExpires((new Date()).addDays(1).valueOf())
.generateSignature();etc etc
The setCols call sets the Cols value to the maximum possible: 9007199254740991.
The weird thing is that in the JSON response I get a whole pile of column names that I can't find descriptions for in the documentation at https://moz.com/help/links-api/making-calls/response-fields
e.g.
ffspl1 ffspl2 ffspl3 ... fuspl0 fuspl1 fuspl2 fuspl3 ... pfspl0 pfspl1 pfspl2 pfspl3 ... puspl0 puspl1 puspl2 puspl3... etc

This is interesting. Most data suppliers will say if scripts break, that's down to the programmer's poor use of error-handling (if/except/fallback statements). It's nice to see that with Moz, there's a little more thought

Hey Steve!
Those are older deprecated responses, they will return a value of '0'. We left them available for calling so they don't break anyones existing script but they are not valid metrics. You can see the full list of supported URL metrics here:

Hope that helps, let us know if you have further questions.

"403 Forbidden" is they will be displayed in the "API"
Nice to meet you.
API | | yamayamax
Although the future API of the question of "URL Metrics", I want you to forgive me English is very immature thing. I'm very troubled now.
If you call the "API" in the manner described below, such PHP of the program, "403 Forbidden" is the result.
Because the information when you visit the URL directly is displayed, we suspect the PHP of the problem.
About the cause, it will be saved in a very and Nowak advice.
Whether Thank you. code $accessID = "<removed for="" privacy="">";
$secretKey = "<removed for="" privacy="">";
$expires = time() + 300;
$SignInStr = $accessID. "\n" .$expires;
$binarySignature = hash_hmac('sha1', $SignInStr, $secretKey, true);
$SafeSignature = urlencode(base64_encode($binarySignature));
$objURL = "http://www.google.com";
$flags = "103079217188";
$reqUrl = "http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/url-metrics/".urlencode($objURL)."?Cols=".$cols."&AccessID=".$accessID."&Expires=".$expires."&Signature=".$SafeSignature;
$opts = array(CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true);
$curlhandle = curl_init($reqUrl);
curl_setopt_array($curlhandle, $opts);
$content = curl_exec($curlhandle);
curl_close($curlhandle);
$resObj = json_decode($content); //decode the json object and fetch results
echo $reqUrl . "
";
echo "Domain Authority : " . $resObj->{'pda'};
echo "Page Authority : " . $resObj->{'upa'};

Suggestion - Should OSE include "citation links" within its index?
This is really a suggestion (and debate to see if people agree with me), with regard to including "citation links" within Moz tools, by default, as just another type of link NOTE: when I am talking about "citation links" I am talking about a link that is not wrapped in a link tag and is therefore non clickable, eg moz.com Obviously Moz have released the mentions tool, which is great, and also FWE which is also great. However, it would seem to me that they are missing a trick in that "citation links" don't feature in the main link index at all. We know that Google as a minimum uses them as an indicator to crawl a page ( http://ignitevisibility.com/google-confirms-url-citations-can-help-pages-get-indexed/ ), and also that they don't pass page rank - HOWEVER, you would assume that google does use then as part of their alogrithm in some manner as they do nofollow links. It would seem to me that a "Citation Link" could (possibly) be deemed more important than a no follow link in Googles alogrithm, as a "no follow" link is a clear indication by the site owner that they don't fully trust the link, but a citation link would neither indicate trust or non trust. So - my request is to get "citation links" into the main link index (and the Just Discovered index for that matter). Would others agree??

Top Pages metrics in OSE
Not sure if this is an API question or a feature request, but wondering if other folks had a way to do this: In OSE there is the dashboard for a specific URL that is entered into the search bar, giving you metrics at a glance on it. But I often find myself going to the Top Pages tab to get a sense of the domain as a whole. First off, wouldn't it be nice/is there a way to build my own "dashboard" based on info from that section? Specifically, I'd love to see at a glance the number of "top pages" that exist (many websites are well under the 10,000 page limit for this section, but there's no quick glance metric showing that) One thing that would be very handy for me would be a breakdown of HTTP Status info across the whole domain, as being able to see the raw total of different statuses (and the percentages of each based on the total number of pages) would be really helpful, giving me a sense if I should dig into any issues before exporting the list to CSV. I've found myself needing this type of info for multiple domains at once, so what would be REALLY cool would be a Google Doc where I could paste in different domains in one column, and this info being returned in other columns. I've searched through the Q&A and didn't find anything like this, and I didn't know how easy/hard any of this would be to do, but I was wondering if anyone else had a sense of how to solve this problem and how feasible it would be to tackle it. Thanks!

Batch URL Error 413
Hello, i am using the free mozscape api to get the domain and page authority of urls. i am batching the url as shown in the sample code however i have over 500 URL i need to check and when running the request i get the following: stdClass Object ( [status] => 413 [error_message] => Too many urls in batch. Batches must be less than or equal to 200 urls. ) When i change it to 200 urls the request works fine, now is there a way to enable me to batch all 500 urls at once? i did read that the beta api is capable of batching urls in one request : http://moz.com/blog/400-higher-throughput-mozscape-api-now-in-beta-and-seeking-testers Has this been implemented yet into the current api? Thanks
