Error when generating secret API key
-
Hi, I am trying to generate an API key for the past 24 hours and I keep on getting the same vague explanation (attached below) of the error. Help Hub had no responses regarding the error also.
"Oops - Something went wrong while trying to get your API Credentials. Please try again or check out the Help Hub if you are still experiencing issues."
Appreciate any assistance on solving this issue.
Thanks!

Hey Ian,
So sorry for any trouble generating your credentials! Unfortunately, we had a series of outages this week that were likely the culprit here.
It looks like you were able to successfully get your key up and runnin' by now, but let me know if there's anything else you need help with! Cheers

Unsolved Mozscape API subscription
We have questions regarding our subscription and the plan we are on. We are more interested in Mozscape API and not the features that we have access to currently. Will you let us know how we can change. Is there some one that we can chat with. Thanks,

Unsolved Can I get Moz keywords via API?
Hi, my boss is asking if you "have any API for keyword research -- e.g., as soon as a user creates a card title in [our application], we can auto-recommend keywords from Moz within [the application]. I shared a link with him to your Links API page, but he says he doesn't think that API does the above. Can you help? Thank you, Renae

Unknown data items in Links API response
So I'm on the documentation page at https://mza.seotoolninja.com/help/links-api/making-calls/url-metrics . I've copied the bit fields table into a spreadsheet. I've removed all the "deprecated" items and have totalled up the remaining items making a Cols= value of 182537205900657000. For want of better knowledge, I've used that same value for LinkCols=, SourceCols= and TargetCols=. The request url ends up being (anonymized): http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/fordanddoonan.com.au?Cols=182537205900657000&AccessID=xxx&Expires=1557458487346&Signature=xxx&SourceCols=182537205900657000&TargetCols=182537205900657000&LinkCols=182537205900657000&Limit=1000&Scope=page_to_domain&Filter=external My question is, what do I make of all the extra fields that I get in the json packet what should I do to remove them? These extra fields are: lrid, lsrc, ltgt, luufq, luueid, lufeid, luujid, luumrp, luumrr, luflan, lufspf, lufsplc, lufspp, lufsps, lufspsc, luus, lufuid, lupuid, lufipl, luupa, lupda, luued, lufed, luped, lupib, luulc, flan, fspf, fsplc, fspp, fsps Is it simply a case of limiting the values of TargetCols, LinkCols and SourceCols? If so, to what?

The difference between api value and screen value
When I check the two parameters (PA and DA values) actually, these values often differ from those which I receive from your API. Why does it happen?

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'

3 result limit to Top Pages API call
I am using the MOZ API to make calls for the top pages for a particular URL. However, when I pass in any limit value greater than 3 the API only returns 3 results. I have even tried to put in URLs like 'www.moz.com' and still only 3 results. Sample call to the API below: http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/top-pages/www.moz.com?AccessID=member-xxxxxxxxx&Expires=1419020831&Signature=xxxxxxxxx&Cols=2052&Offset=0&Limit=50

About Expiry of MOZ API authentication and MOZ API call in .NET application
MOZ API signed authentication is getting expire after particular time, and coming up with the error "Authentication has expired , Re-send your authentication". **right now we are getting new authentication details using ** https://mza.seotoolninja.com/products/api/keys after doing login. but, how do we get new credentials (authentication details) , by doing MOZ API call using c# or any other programming language, we are using this API in .NET. Also, How we can increase the session expiry time. i think it is concerned with the Sample Expires of Signed authentication , but we are unable to change it , as it is coming with the authentication failed.
