Unsolved Regarding Moz API token password update
-
Hi,
In March we have updated password for MOZ API and used in our application it worked, but currently the updated password is not working and in the MOZ site the old password is shown and its active. We are using Legacy username and password.
We see that 5 tokens can be added for API, if we add 2 tokens both will be active.
We are currently using free services.Please help us resolve this issue.

@emma-bahlke Hello Emma, We haven't received any reply for our comment. If we are using the newly created secret ID/ token, the API is not getting called and we are not receiving the count value for the backlinks.

@emma-bahlke Good Morning, Can you provide any suggestion on the reply given?? Thanks

@emma-bahlke Yes, we are using in the form of Legacy ID/ Secret Key. The old one is working, but the newly created one is not working in our code.

@emma-bahlke We are using it in the form of Access ID and Secret. Even then, it is not showing any backlinks for our application.

@emma-bahlke Wanted to follow up on the reply,
Yes, we were able to add a new token. But when we try to use the new token, It's not connecting/returning the backlinks count for our application. We are skeptical to delete the old one as our Production application is using it.Please let us know if you need anymore information.

@NickAndrews Sorry for the late reply! Is there a particular error message you're receiving, and can you share the code you're using with the new token? With the new tokens, you can do one of two things:
- Use it in its token form by providing it in the custom x-moz-token header
- Use it in the legacy access ID/secret key form by clicking "Show legacy credentials" to the right of the token and providing those via basic auth, which is how your existing API integration will work
Is it possible you're using the token form (the single long string value which is shown by default in each row of tokens on the dashboard) and providing it via basic auth, or vice versa?

@NickAndrews Hi Nick, are you able to add a new token and delete the old one? You can delete the old one by hitting the trash icon next to it on the Moz API dashboard: https://moz.com/help/links-api/getting-started/usage-dashboard

Unsolved Help with API Error: "Query Not Found" for a Specific URL
Hi everyone, I'm trying to retrieve data for a specific URL using the Moz API, specifically the data.site.metrics.fetch method. The URL I'm querying is: https://www.fiftyfiveandfive.com/ai-agents-marketings-new-means-of-production When I make the API request, I receive the following 404 error: { "id": "unique-id-testing", "jsonrpc": "2.0", "error": { "code": -32655, "status": 404, "data": { "key": "site_query.query", "value": "https://www.fiftyfiveandfive.com/ai-agents-marketings-new-means-of-production" }, "message": "That query was not found." } } However, when I check the URL in Moz Link Explorer, I can see that the page has a Page Authority of 23 and a Domain Authority of 36, but no backlinks or ranking keywords. What I'm Trying to Achieve:
API | | Chris_Wright1664
I’m attempting to retrieve metrics for this page via the API, but it seems like the API does not recognise the URL, even though it’s visible in Link Explorer. Questions: Why does the API return "Query Not Found" for a URL that is indexed in Link Explorer? Is there a way to request Moz to crawl or re-crawl this URL to ensure it's accessible via the API? Are there any additional criteria the API requires (e.g., backlinks, ranking keywords) before it recognises a URL? Additional Info: I’ve verified that my robots.txt file allows all bots, including Rogerbot. list itemThe page is included in the sitemap, and the URL is accessible without any restrictions. list itemI’d appreciate any insights on how to resolve this issue or steps to take so that the Moz API can retrieve data for this URL.0 -
Unsolved MOZ API for domain authority
I am using the MOZ API to check domain authority (DA). Recently, I noticed a discrepancy: the DA value retrieved via the API differs from the result on the MOZ homepage. Specifically, the API returns a DA of 10, while the homepage shows "NO DATA." Additionally, other services like Ahrefs report a DA of 0. I relied on the MOZ API's result when purchasing this domain and now feel misled. I would like to understand the exact reason for this inconsistency.

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
