I'm getting following error for seomoz call using your API:
{"status":"401","error_message":"Your authentication failed. Check your authentication details and try again. For more information on signed authentication, see: http://apiwiki.moz.com/signed-authentication"}
The link that we are using is:

The error is intermittent. It comes and goes. There were no issues with results 3 days ago. I suddenly started getting this error. Could you please investigate into it and let me know the cause of issues and its correctiveness.
It will great if you can provide us a support email Id for immediate response.
Thanks,

Hey There,
I am so sorry you ran into this issue with the API. Due to an incredibly heavy traffic volume on the Mozscape index, one of our servers crashed, causing an outage in the tools that pull data from the index. The issue has been fixed and you should be able to access the tool with no issues now.
Please give that a try and let us know if you need any other assistance.

Moz got problem crawling SquareSpace websites?
Moz sent us an email about our website https://www.openhill.com that they failed to crawl. I checked the forums with the same issues with mine and it looks like that Moz has problems with websites from Squarespace. I wonder if you do have a workaround on this. Let me know if you have instructions for me to fix this kind of issue. Thanks!

MOZ API - Search Visibility
Hello there, We are looking to see if we can recreate the Search Visibility report through the API. We are wondering which API parameters and metrics we should use to recreate the report? Also, we want to distinguish between traffic coming from desktops and mobile traffic. Is this possible with the API? Which type of account do we need to use for these functionalities: the free account or paid account? We are currently using a free account. Also: we are wondering if can access historical data with the API? For instance: we want to determine the domain authority from October 2016 off on. Is this possible? Thanks in advance! Kind regards, Bart Minten

Can the API Filter Links with Certain Anchor Text?
I am trying to get all links that have a certain strings in their anchor text: I am using the python library: https://github.com/seomoz/SEOmozAPISamples/blob/master/python/lsapi.py Looking at the documentation, it says I can get the normalized anchor text by using the bit flag 8 for the LinkCols value: https://mza.seotoolninja.com/help/guides/moz-api/mozscape/api-reference/link-metrics So I tried this: links = l.links('example.com', scope='page_to_domain', sort='domain_authority', filters=['external'], sourceCols = lsapi.UMCols.url, linkCols=8) But it doesn't return the expected 'lnt' response field or anything similar to the anchor text. How do I get the anchor text on the source URLs? I also tried 10 for the linkCols value, to get all the bit flags in the lf field as well as the anchor text. In both instances (and even with different variations of targetCols & sourceCols), this is all the fields that are returned: 'lrid', 'lsrc', 'luuu', 'uu', 'luupa', 'ltgt'

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?

Moz Local, only did 3 listings...
I used Moz local and it only successfully created 3 listings.. the rest all require I manually add the information. Seems like a steep price for 3 listings. I was under the impression it would do more than that. And on top of that, it created a google+ page and I already have one which now I cannot find a way to update. Same for facebook. I have a page, I even had it in the CSV file, but it didn't load it. Some help would be appreciated.
