    Hi, I'm using the free access to the Mozscape API and while I'm still a novice about what data the Mozscape API can pull I can't seem to figure how to pull the keyword rankings for my campaigns. I reviewed https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-api/mozscape/api-reference/url-metrics but can't seem to find what value I need to call.

    Can someone guide me in the right direction or is this something only the paid version has access to?

      Hello Ian-- It's been a few years since this post, I'm curious for updates! Does the Mozscape API include search volume yet? Are there plans to? I've been struggling to write a scraper that would do this for me, an API would certainly simplify things.

        Hi Ian -- Wanted to check back on status of the API for keyword data (including rankings).  Is this something that is still planned?  Any timeframe?  I'm getting ready to embark on a project to import rankings data into our internal dashboard tool, and I'm wondering if I'll be forever stuck with manually importing .csv files.  Thanks in advance for any updates you can provide!

        -John

          Great to hear the product is adding new features and that the API support for rank checking is in the backlog.  Love the functionality, but the service does not scale without volume rank checking.  I can work with the current export functionality, but the API will help automate tasks to support more customers.  I'll stay tuned for the updates.

            We have been working to get a new large piece of functionality out for the Keyword Explorer tool, this has lead to a delay in the External API for our Keyword data. This new feature is in the homestretch and once that is complete, exposing that data is the next step.

                Hi, It's a year later, and I was researching the same issue.  Can you confirm if there is a Keyword Explorer API for pro subscribers?  Thanks.

                  Hey There,

                  Unfortunately Keywords Data is not available via the Mozscape API. The Mozscape API houses the data from our Index, which is centered around Links Data and our Metrics derived from that data (Domain Authority, Page Authority, MozRank, etc). We do have a Keywords API that is not yet up on our website, however there is no Free Access for it at this time.

                  If you have any other questions about the Mozscape or Keywords API, feel free to reach out to me at IanW@Moz.com.

                  Cheers!

                  Ian Watson - Moz APIs

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

                    api

                    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: Why does the API return "Query Not Found" for a URL that is indexed in Link Explorer? Is there a way to request Moz to crawl or re-crawl this URL to ensure it's accessible via the API? 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.

                    Hi, In March we have updated password for MOZ API and used in our application it worked, but currently the updated password is not working and in the MOZ site the old password is shown and its active. We are using Legacy username and password.
                    We see that 5 tokens can be added for API, if we add 2 tokens both will be active.
                    We are currently using free services. Please help us resolve this issue.

                    Unsolved Moz API returning incorrect PA data

                    api page authority

                    So I've been attempting to figure out Moz API to allow for batches of URLs to be searched and the data to be nicely put into a google sheet. I've setup the MOZ API for sheets add-on and everything appears to work, but after spot checking some of my data, I've found that for some reason, the page authority data returned by Moz API appears to be way off the actual number presented by other Moz tools, such as the tool bar and main site.
                    Screenshot 2023-06-01 at 9.38.25 AM.png
                    Screenshot 2023-06-01 at 9.41.43 AM.png As you can see, in this one example off my list, the returned PA value is 6 points lower than the value returned from the Moz tool bar and website analysis.
                    If the data returned is incorrect, how is Moz API useful? Am I missing something? Would love some help or advice, as this tool would be very useful in a functioning state!

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'd like to be able to pull the results from Rank Tracker into my own application. Can I access it via an API? I don't see it anywhere in the Moz documentation, which is usually a clear answer. If not, how do you suggest to automate the inclusion of this data without, for example, being blacklisted?
