What does "ffspl" mean in a url-metrics result set?
-
So I've got this server-side JScript object I've declared which works nicely for us.
var mozObj = new MozInteraction()
.setMethod("GET")
.setHost("http://lsapi.seomoz.com")
.setPath("linkscape/url-metrics")
.setCols(parseInt("11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", 2))
.setLines(10)
.setAccessId(accessId)
.setSecret(secret)
.setExpires((new Date()).addDays(1).valueOf())
.generateSignature();etc etc
The setCols call sets the Cols value to the maximum possible: 9007199254740991.
The weird thing is that in the JSON response I get a whole pile of column names that I can't find descriptions for in the documentation at https://mza.seotoolninja.com/help/links-api/making-calls/response-fields
e.g.
ffspl1 ffspl2 ffspl3 ... fuspl0 fuspl1 fuspl2 fuspl3 ... pfspl0 pfspl1 pfspl2 pfspl3 ... puspl0 puspl1 puspl2 puspl3... etc

This is interesting. Most data suppliers will say if scripts break, that's down to the programmer's poor use of error-handling (if/except/fallback statements). It's nice to see that with Moz, there's a little more thought

Hey Steve!
Those are older deprecated responses, they will return a value of '0'. We left them available for calling so they don't break anyones existing script but they are not valid metrics. You can see the full list of supported URL metrics here:

Hope that helps, let us know if you have further questions.

Unsolved "The account does not have access to that quota" - API v1 URL Metrics
Hi! On one of our servers we get the message "The account does not have access to that quota" when pulling data for v1 URL Metrics endpoint in the API.

This only happens on one specific server, others have worked flawlessly. Any idea of what might be going on? Thanks0 -

Do you fetch website titles from paid api https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-api/mozscape/api-reference/url-metrics?
We are using one of your API: https://mza.seotoolninja.com/help/guides/moz-api/mozscape/api-reference/url-metrics on our website and it does not show up the title for each website.

But when I see the title of the same website through your extension Moz Bar, then it does show the title from the extension of that website. Can you tell me what is missing here?0 -
I'm only seeing 3 results for DA/PA, is this a limitation?
I'm checking the DA/PA of the top 10 urls on google for a keyword, but I only get the DA/PA results for 3 of the domains, I know the other domains in the list would have results, is this a limitation on the API or should I be able to get DA/PA for more than 3 domains at a time? would it help if I only check one at a time instead of a larger set? 5dpi0h.png

How do batched URL metrics work in terms of rows and rate limit?
I am using the free API plan to get URL metrics and batching my calls like this: https://github.com/seomoz/SEOmozAPISamples/blob/master/php/batching_urls_sample.php How does this work in terms of rows and limits? If I do a batch of 10 urls does it count as 1 row? or 10? Do I have to wait 10 seconds before calling the next batch?

Suggestion - Should OSE include "citation links" within its index?
This is really a suggestion (and debate to see if people agree with me), with regard to including "citation links" within Moz tools, by default, as just another type of link NOTE: when I am talking about "citation links" I am talking about a link that is not wrapped in a link tag and is therefore non clickable, eg moz.com Obviously Moz have released the mentions tool, which is great, and also FWE which is also great. However, it would seem to me that they are missing a trick in that "citation links" don't feature in the main link index at all. We know that Google as a minimum uses them as an indicator to crawl a page ( http://ignitevisibility.com/google-confirms-url-citations-can-help-pages-get-indexed/ ), and also that they don't pass page rank - HOWEVER, you would assume that google does use then as part of their alogrithm in some manner as they do nofollow links. It would seem to me that a "Citation Link" could (possibly) be deemed more important than a no follow link in Googles alogrithm, as a "no follow" link is a clear indication by the site owner that they don't fully trust the link, but a citation link would neither indicate trust or non trust. So - my request is to get "citation links" into the main link index (and the Just Discovered index for that matter). Would others agree??

On-Page Reports showing old urls
While taking a look at our sites on-page reports I noticed some of our keywords with very old urls that haven't existed for close to a year. How do I make sure moz's keyword ranking is finding the correct page and make sure I'm not getting graded on that keywords/urls that don't exist any more or have been 301'd to new urls? Is there a way to clean these out? My on-page reports say I have 62 reports for only a total of 34 keywords in rankings. As you can see from the image most of the urls for "tax folder" have now been 301'd to not include /product or /category but moz is still showing them with the old url structure. BTW our site is minespress.com 2KdGcPL.png
