      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:
      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:

      1. Why does the API return "Query Not Found" for a URL that is indexed in Link Explorer?

      2. Is there a way to request Moz to crawl or re-crawl this URL to ensure it's accessible via the API?

      3. 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.

        Unsolved MOZ API for domain authority

        api da

        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.

        Unsolved How to get Domain Authority using API ?

        api domain authority

        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.

        Unsolved Can I get Moz keywords via API?

        api keywords

        Hi, my boss is asking if you "have any API for keyword research -- e.g., as soon as a user creates a card title in [our application], we can auto-recommend keywords from Moz within [the application]. I shared a link with him to your Links API page, but he says he doesn't think that API does the above. Can you help? Thank you, Renae

        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?
