      Hi, we're using Url Metrics API. We were wondering if we could access historical data. Like for example passing the date to query. Currently on the api docs this ability is not listed.

      Thanks!

          Hi there!
          I'm afraid our API currently doesn't have the capability to grab historical data. So, you would only be able to fetch link data for the current index. Hope this helps to clarify!

            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.

            Do you fetch website titles from paid api https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-api/mozscape/api-reference/url-metrics?

            We are using one of your API: https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-api/mozscape/api-reference/url-metrics on our website and it does not show up the title for each website. 
            But when I see the title of the same website through your extension Moz Bar, then it does show the title from the extension of that website. Can you tell me what is missing here?

            Mozscape API Updates (Non-updates!) - becoming a joke!

            This is the 3rd month in succession where the Mozscape index has been delayed. Myself and clients are losing patience with this, as I am sure many others must be. Just what do you suppose we tell clients waiting for that data? We have incomplete and sometimes skewed metrics to report on, delays which then get delayed further, with nothing but the usual 'we are working on it' and 'bear with us'. It's becoming obvious you fudged the index update back in January (see discussion here with some kind of explanation finally from Rand: https://moz.com/community/q/is-everybody-seeing-da-pa-drops-after-last-moz-api-update), and seems you have been fumbling around ever since trying to fix it, with data all over the place, shifting DA scores and missing links from campaign data. Your developers should be working around the clock to fix this, because this is a big part of what you're selling in your service, and as SEO's and marketers we are relying on that data for client retention and satisfaction. Will you refund us all if we should lose clients over this?! .. I don't think so! With reports already sent out the beginning of the month with incomplete data, I told clients the index would refresh April 10th as informed from the API updates page, only to see it fudged again on day of release with the index being rolled back to previous. So again, I have to tell clients there will be more delays, ...with the uncertainty of IF it WILL EVEN get refreshed when you say it will. It's becoming a joke.. really!

            Pulling large amounts of data from moz api

            Hi i'm looking to pull large amounts of data from the moz and semrush api. I have been using seotools addon for excel to extract data but excel is slow, sometimes crashes and not very reliable. Can anyone recommend any other tools i can use, to pull huge amounts of data? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated! Cheers, RM

            Is it true that google moved to ssl encrypted protocol and doesn't release keyword data anymore?

            Hi,
            I have a couple trivial questions regarding google search and the way Moz keyword reports are working. 1/ is it true that google moved to ssl encrypted protocol and doesn't release keyword data anymore? 2/ if so than how Moz still manages to collect this data? Is it because of api or some other “deal” with them? Or you're paying for it. 3/ Why is “traffic from organic search” only for one week? Or I am missing something . http://screencast.com/t/rslio5ZSKAx It would be great to:
            a/ go month by month (my client is requiring monthly reports)
            b/ compare one week/month with another to see if it's getting better or worse. Thanks in advance,
            JJ
