Hi - thanks for reaching out to us.
In Postman, if you click on raw instead of form-data in Body, you can get results using the syntax found here: https://moz.com/help/links-api/making-calls/url-metrics. In your example, you could write:
{
"targets":["facebook.com"]
}
This should successfully return results for you. If you continue to run into issues, I would suggest reaching out to support at help@moz.com.
thanks!

Error Code 803
Hello all, With every new Moz report that comes in, an error code 803 appears. I check each link that comes up as an 803 but they work perfectly. What could be causing this to happen? Error Code 803: Incomplete HTTP Response Received Your page did not send a complete response to the Moz Crawler's request. Our crawler is pretty standard, so it's likely that other browsers and crawlers may also encounter this error. If you have this error on your homepage, it prevents the Moz crawler (and some search engines) from crawling the rest of your site.

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://moz.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.
