Welcome to the Q&A Forum

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.
