Hi - thanks for reaching out to us.
In Postman, if you click on raw instead of form-data in Body, you can get results using the syntax found here: https://moz.com/help/links-api/making-calls/url-metrics. In your example, you could write:
{
"targets":["facebook.com"]
}
This should successfully return results for you. If you continue to run into issues, I would suggest reaching out to support at help@moz.com.
thanks!

Unsolved How to get Domain Authority using API ?
I wanted to test the API and while looking on the documentation urls, I cannot find details on how to get Domain Authority. is that not available to query ? was it replaced by Brand Authority ? is it only available for the paid API or for the free one too ? I looked at many documentation pages but I find it very confusing and frustrating, there are many versions of the documentation and various URLs and not clearly labeled, I understand some are V1, V2, V3, etc, but I didn't find sample API calls for Domain Authority. Thank you.

Error when generating secret API key
Hi, I am trying to generate an API key for the past 24 hours and I keep on getting the same vague explanation (attached below) of the error. Help Hub had no responses regarding the error also. "Oops - Something went wrong while trying to get your API Credentials. Please try again or check out the Help Hub if you are still experiencing issues." Appreciate any assistance on solving this issue. Thanks! Ian

API for crawl reports?
Hello, I'd like to know if moz api is able to provide me the crawl reports. We're currently developing a simple crawl report analysis/parsing tool and after analysing the API we weren't able to find a function that could return us wether the excel file or the report results. Is there any way? Thank you very much.

803 Crawl attempt error
Hello I'd be very grateful for any advice with this: My insights show I have an 803 error. Now, under "pages with crawl attempt error" the page in question is just an uploaded image to wordpress. However, above the graph it says: "We were unable to access your homepage, which prevented us from crawling the rest of your site. It is likely that other browsers as well as search engines may encounter this problem and abort their sessions." Does this really mean my homepage? or is the only issue with the image? I have noticed for the past 8 weeks I'm getting 1 crawl attempt error every 2 weeks (so when viewed weekly I have 1 error one week, 0 error the next week etc) Is this normal? Since receiving this 803 error, I have significantly dropped in SERPS for 3 key terms I was on page 1 for (now dropped to pages 3-4). Could this be related? I realise this is a bit specific, but thanks in advance. Cheers 🙂
