Unsolved Help with API Error: "Query Not Found" for a Specific URL

API

Chris_Wright1664 Subscriber last edited by
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to retrieve data for a specific URL using the Moz API, specifically the data.site.metrics.fetch method. The URL I'm querying is:

https://www.fiftyfiveandfive.com/ai-agents-marketings-new-means-of-production

When I make the API request, I receive the following 404 error:
```
{
    "id": "unique-id-testing",
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "error": {
        "code": -32655,
        "status": 404,
        "data": {
            "key": "site_query.query",
            "value": "https://www.fiftyfiveandfive.com/ai-agents-marketings-new-means-of-production"
        },
        "message": "That query was not found."
    }
}
```
However, when I check the URL in Moz Link Explorer, I can see that the page has a Page Authority of 23 and a Domain Authority of 36, but no backlinks or ranking keywords.

What I'm Trying to Achieve:
I’m attempting to retrieve metrics for this page via the API, but it seems like the API does not recognise the URL, even though it’s visible in Link Explorer.

Questions:
1. Why does the API return "Query Not Found" for a URL that is indexed in Link Explorer?
2. Is there a way to request Moz to crawl or re-crawl this URL to ensure it's accessible via the API?
3. Are there any additional criteria the API requires (e.g., backlinks, ranking keywords) before it recognises a URL?
Additional Info:
- I’ve verified that my robots.txt file allows all bots, including Rogerbot.
- list itemThe page is included in the sitemap, and the URL is accessible without any restrictions.
- list itemI’d appreciate any insights on how to resolve this issue or steps to take so that the Moz API can retrieve data for this URL.

Unsolved Issue with API Results and Excessive Token Consumption

api data accuracy token consumption support

Dear Moz Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the performance of the Moz API, which I have been using for domain information retrieval through Zapier. Despite paying for your API service, I am encountering several significant issues that are affecting my ability to use the service effectively: Incorrect and Inconsistent Data: When I query domain information, I receive incorrect results for Page Authority (PA), Domain Authority (DA), and Spam Score (SS). Specifically, PA and DA are always returned as 1, while SS is consistently -1, which indicates that the data being provided is either incomplete or incorrect. This discrepancy is preventing me from relying on your service for accurate domain insights. Excessive Token Consumption: I have noticed that the API token usage is significantly higher than expected. After querying only 250 domains, my token consumption has already exceeded 6,000 tokens, which seems unusually high. I had understood that the token usage would be calculated per query, but it appears that the consumption is much higher than anticipated. Given that I have invested in this service, I am frustrated that I am not receiving the expected level of performance and data accuracy. Could you please investigate these issues and provide clarity on why this is happening? Additionally, I would appreciate any guidance on how to resolve these discrepancies and ensure that I am using the API in the most efficient way possible. I look forward to your prompt response and assistance in resolving these issues. thank you

Unsolved MOZ API for domain authority

api da

I am using the MOZ API to check domain authority (DA). Recently, I noticed a discrepancy: the DA value retrieved via the API differs from the result on the MOZ homepage. Specifically, the API returns a DA of 10, while the homepage shows "NO DATA." Additionally, other services like Ahrefs report a DA of 0. I relied on the MOZ API's result when purchasing this domain and now feel misled. I would like to understand the exact reason for this inconsistency.

Unsolved Api limits on free plan

api

Good afternoon. I tried connecting free access to api https://moz.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?

Unsolved url_metrics - Error deserializing POST body

api urlmetrics google apps script error deserializing post body

Hi, I'm trying to reproduce this Postman url_metrics request in Google Apps Script (GAS) : moz forum 2-2.jpg But in GAS, I get this error : moz-forum 2.jpg I suspect it's the body (line 90) that causes the issue, but can't figure out how to fix it. Any suggestion ?

Can the API give the same data as the UI?

What I mean is, I'm not that interested in counts. What I'd like to figure out is how to get the API to give me what the UI gives me , so that for a given target domain I can download a report with the following fields: URL
Title
Anchor Text
Spam Score
PA
DA
Linking Domains to Page
Target URL
Link Type
Link State
Date First Seen
Date Last Seen
Date Lost
HTTP Status Code
Links to Page
Outbound Domains from Page
Outbound Links from Page
Operator profile That's essentially the same as a CSV report generated by clicking on the "Export CSV" button. I could ,I suppose, get someone to write something in Selenium to enter a domain, click on the button and hang around on the notifications page for the results but I'd really rather not.
