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?

Hi there - Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
A batch of 10 URLs will count as 10 rows and you would need to wait 10 seconds before making the next query. If you make your next query too quickly you will be hit with a throttle which lasts 30 seconds. If you make another query during that period, you potentially could push that 30 second throttle even further out.
I hope this helps! In the future, feel free to email our team anytime at [email protected] and someone from our team will be happy to help out!
Have a great day.

Unsolved Api limits on free plan
Good afternoon. I tried connecting free access to api https://mza.seotoolninja.com/help/links-api/v1-archive/v1-free-api-access to retrieve DA data. After several requests to the api I got a message: "Your monthly row limit reached" Can you tell me what this error is related to? Or Moz doesn't have free api access anymore?

API: General information URL on path level
Is it possible to get general information (refdomains, mozrank etc.) out of the API on path level? If so, what is the best way to do this? Example www.test.com/folder/ -> Combined data (for example, total refdomains etc) for all URL’s indexed by Moz that include www.test.com/folder/ -> like www.test.com/folder/item/page.html and www.test.com/folder/page2.html

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

Cannot get the API to work when using an EC2 server
Hi I've created a script that I'd like to use to check a list of domains using the Moz API. It works totally fine on my local machine. However, when I run it from my EC2 instance, it fails every time. To be specific, the response is always empty (the response is an empty json array) when the request is sent from EC2. Is, for some reason, EC2 blocked by the Moz API? Many thanks for your help, Andrew
