      Hello,
      I just started using the free version of Mozscape and I fully understand there are limits and charges under this category. However to avoid any costly surprises, I like to know:
          What happens when I get near my usage limit?
          What happens when I just hit the limit?
          What happens when I past the limit?

      Along with my questions, Is there any alert systems to let me know when I get to the range of said limit, like an email?

        Hey There,

        Happy to help answer your questions regarding our API. Our Free API Access will not lead to any charges unless you reach out to us and ask for additional rows to be added to your account. So there should be zero surprise charges from the API product.

        What happens when I get near my usage limit? - Usage can be monitored here - https://moz.com/products/mozscape/usage
        What happens when I just hit the limit? Once you pull 25k rows for the month, your account will be suspended until the following month. 
        **What happens when I past the limit? **Unless you reach out and ask for additional rows, your account will be suspended until the following month, where you will get another 25k rows to use.

        Let me know if you have any other questions about the API.

        Ian W.

          Unsolved How to get Domain Authority using API ?

          api domain authority

          I wanted to test the API and while looking on the documentation urls, I cannot find details on how to get Domain Authority. is that not available to query ? was it replaced by Brand Authority ? is it only available for the paid API or for the free one too ? I looked at many documentation pages but I find it very confusing and frustrating, there are many versions of the documentation and various URLs and not clearly labeled, I understand some are V1, V2, V3, etc, but I didn't find sample API calls for Domain Authority. Thank you.

          Unsolved Can I get Moz keywords via API?

          api keywords

          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

          I'm only seeing 3 results for DA/PA, is this a limitation?

          I'm checking the DA/PA of the top 10 urls on google for a keyword, but I only get the DA/PA results for 3 of the domains, I know the other domains in the list would have results, is this a limitation on the API or should I be able to get DA/PA for more than 3 domains at a time? would it help if I only check one at a time instead of a larger set? 5dpi0h.png

          Paid access to the API

          Hi!
          We paid for the trial period, but we don't have access to the API (Anchor-Text Metrics, and to the other paid URL Metrics). Why? Thanks!

          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://moz.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'

          Hello: There was a Mozscape Index scheduled 9/8/2015 and now it go pushed back October 8,2015. There seems to be a lot of delays with the Mozscape Index. Is this something we should expect? Updates every 2 months instead of every month? Thanks!
