 Hey There, I am so sorry you ran into this issue with the API. Due to an incredibly heavy traffic volume on the Mozscape index, one of our servers crashed, causing an outage in the tools that pull data from the index. The issue has been fixed and you should be able to access the tool with no issues now. Please give that a try and let us know if you need any other assistance. Chiaryn

		Wrong answers for API request
 Hi, I just recently started getting errors when using the API. The request back contains zeros for all the keys except PDA which is a new to me. Haven't changed anything in the code and the authorization seems to work fine. Is this something on my end? However, I don't get for all the requests, perhaps half of the time. Example of the return: {"fmrp":0,"fmrr":0,"pda":27.7812456171725224,"ueid":0,"uid":0,"uipl":0,"umrp":0,"umrr":0,"upa":1} Thanks in advance! /Mathias API | | Lobtec0

		API Limit Question
 Hi, I am unfamiliar with API's in general but never had an issue with being throttled until today. I used the api a lot heavier today which is why. According to the API dashboard I made 5100 "requests" today and 21,000 "rows returned". I am using a MOZ PRO account and have been throttled as a result. I am wondering when does it reset? Is it a daily, weekly, or monthly limit that I hit and what is the limit? Thanks API | | greganderson4440
