Mozscape API Problem With Credentials
-
Yello everyone
Yesterday I generated Access ID and Secret Key to try the API, but it didn't work.
It's said that it might need 5 minutes, so I gave it something like 8 hours but it still didn't work afterwards.
I used the PHP sample and I checked it with the Sample Expires value and it produces the same Signature parameter as in the Sample Valid API Signature, so the PHP code sample and the Sample Valid API Signature are in sync.
In case you wonder - yes I changed the PHP sample by adding the valid strings for $accessID and $secretKey - I'm a long time programmer and I know what I'm doing with it.
I tried also the example URL from Sample Valid API Signature couple of times, refreshing each time to get new Expire parameter, but it's not working too.
Both the PHP sample and the Sample Valid API Signature are giving me this:
**{ "status" : "401", "error_message" : "Your authentication failed. Check your authentication details and try again. For more information on signed authentication, see: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/29574176/SignedAuthentication" }**
I am new here and if there is another place to look for support please just point it out and excuse me for wasting your time - I just couldn't see it and I really tried.
Thank you for your time to read this!

Your Access ID:

Well, obviously Rudy is a photography master.
Just... the photography masters don't create pics out of the blue - they are named masters coz they can expose something, say a shining smile of a wonderful person, without losing the touch and feel of it.
So once again - Rudy rullz!

So glad the API is working! And thanks for the compliments on the picture. Rudy Lopez, Jen Lopez's husband, took the picture for me. He's the one behind a lot of the pictures at SEOmoz and he does a great job.

Thanks a ton Keri!
Awesome pic btw.
And btw - I just tried it (the API, not the pic
and it's working now!
Thanks again!

Hi Calvin,
The best place for an API question is probably over at the API discussion forum at https://seomoz.zendesk.com/categories/6328-seomoz-apis-and-extras, or just sending an email to [email protected]. A few users of the API are here, but those two places are your best options. Thanks!

Moz Reporting a brand page as KW stuffed for the the brand KW, not a problem i presume ?
Hi if I'm getting a keyword stuffing warning on Moz for a brand page for the brand name kw that shouldn't really matter should it? Moz just oversimplifying it since seen the brand name says 27 times on a page think it's stuffed, but if its a 2000 word page all about the brand, those occurrences are totally natural & hence Google will think so too generally speaking? Thanks Dan

Problems with Crawl Diagnostics/New Campaign
Hi all I added a new domain to my campaigns yesterday and got the usual message saying we will have a small set of results ready in a couple of hours, and the rest will be done in a week or so. 24 hours later, this same message is still showing. Anyone else experiencing this or is it just related to my domain? Many thanks. Carl

Domain_to_domain api call syntax
I am trying to construct an api call that lists the top authority link from each domain. This page_to_page call works http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/www.jbwebanalytics.com?SourceCols=4&TargetCols=4&Scope=page_to_page&Limit=400&AccessID=membexxx&Expires=xxx&Signature=xxx This domain_to_domain does not http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/www.jbwebanalytics.com?&Scope=domain_to_domain&Limit=400&AccessID=member-xxx1&Expires=xxx&Signature=xxx I'm plum out of ideas why? Anyone know? The Idea output is the single highest authority link for all linking domains thanks! Brian

API and bitflag question
I've googled and read and still confused on this. Regarding the link metric bit flags: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/link-metrics I understand everything about how the API works and have it all working, except for this bit flag thing... And there's no example on this page of how to use the bit flags in an API request so it's hard to work it out. My current API call is: "http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/" & $db & "/" & $objectURL & "? SourceCols=" & $SourceCols & "&TargetCols=" & $TargetCols & "&Scope=" & $Scope & "&Sort=page_authority" & "&Filter=" & $Filter & "&AccessID=" & $accessID & "&Expires=" & $expires & "&Signature=" & $urlSafeSignature There are 4 Link Metric Bit Flags: 2, 4, 8, and 16. How do I use those in the above URL Do I use those in SourceCols? And there's about 15 Link Flag Definitions (ranging from 1 to 65536). So I use those in TargetCols? I've tested different variations and I get different responses but the responses aren't documented either. For example, if I get "luutrp":5.432777943351583,"luutrr":1.415861867916131e-14" in a response... what IS luutrp or luutrr. These acronyms are not outlined anywhere that I can find. This link: http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/the-busy-developers-guide-to-seomoz-bit-flags outlines an example but is using Cols (not SourceCols or TargetCols) so either this page is outdated or I'm missing something. Is there also a "Cols" parameter? Basically, I just want: - given a single URL, show me all links (page to page) pointing to that URL, and give me the same information that's displayed in Open Site Explorer (page authority, anchor text, title, etc, etc) but also give me some additional information such as, "is it on the same C block?" What's an example URL for the above request? Really hoping someone can shed some light on this under-documented API.

Website is not being indexed in Mozscape
Hi, We launched a website Mid-March. Strangely it's not yet being indexed by the Mozscape crawler (therefore I can't use tools like Open Site Explorer). Open Site Explorer keeps telling me: "No Data Availible for this URL". I don't think it's a crawl error of some sort. Google Webmaster tools tells me everything is fine (no crawl errors). Search Engine indexing is also fine. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.

How good is Link Assistant Suite? and how good is the SEOmoz API?
Ive gotten many mixed opinions on Link Assistant and its complete suite, I wanted to get some opinions on the matter.. Anyone use these tools? What is the difference between these tools and other tools on the web? Would adding the free SEOmoz API into this software show better results?
