What does "ffspl" mean in a url-metrics result set?
-
So I've got this server-side JScript object I've declared which works nicely for us.
var mozObj = new MozInteraction()
.setMethod("GET")
.setHost("http://lsapi.seomoz.com")
.setPath("linkscape/url-metrics")
.setCols(parseInt("11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111", 2))
.setLines(10)
.setAccessId(accessId)
.setSecret(secret)
.setExpires((new Date()).addDays(1).valueOf())
.generateSignature();etc etc
The setCols call sets the Cols value to the maximum possible: 9007199254740991.
The weird thing is that in the JSON response I get a whole pile of column names that I can't find descriptions for in the documentation at https://moz.com/help/links-api/making-calls/response-fields
e.g.
ffspl1 ffspl2 ffspl3 ... fuspl0 fuspl1 fuspl2 fuspl3 ... pfspl0 pfspl1 pfspl2 pfspl3 ... puspl0 puspl1 puspl2 puspl3... etc

This is interesting. Most data suppliers will say if scripts break, that's down to the programmer's poor use of error-handling (if/except/fallback statements). It's nice to see that with Moz, there's a little more thought

Hey Steve!
Those are older deprecated responses, they will return a value of '0'. We left them available for calling so they don't break anyones existing script but they are not valid metrics. You can see the full list of supported URL metrics here:

Hope that helps, let us know if you have further questions.

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

API - Internal Links to page and related metrics
Hi dear moz Team! Currently I´m building a Java application accessing your API. But there are some metrics I urgently need which I can´t get out of the API until now: The total number of internal links to a page The total number of internal links to a page with partial anchor text match MozRank passed by all internal links w. part. match anchor text (would be nice) For example, if I try this by your links endpoint, my idea was: http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jetztspielen.de%2F?AccessID=..
API | | pollierer
&Expires=..
&Signature=..
&Scope=domain_to_page
&Filter=internal
&Sort=domain_authority
&SourceCols=4 (or any other value)
&SourceDomain=www.jetztspielen.de
&Offset=0
&Limit=50 If I try this, the API says: {"status": "400", "error_message": "Cannot set a source domain when filtering for internal links."} Is there any way to get the data I need by your API endpoints? I´m currently writing my master thesis and it is very important to me to solve this somehow. Thank you very much in advance! Best, Andreas Pollierer1 -
Suggestion - Should OSE include "citation links" within its index?
This is really a suggestion (and debate to see if people agree with me), with regard to including "citation links" within Moz tools, by default, as just another type of link NOTE: when I am talking about "citation links" I am talking about a link that is not wrapped in a link tag and is therefore non clickable, eg moz.com Obviously Moz have released the mentions tool, which is great, and also FWE which is also great. However, it would seem to me that they are missing a trick in that "citation links" don't feature in the main link index at all. We know that Google as a minimum uses them as an indicator to crawl a page ( http://ignitevisibility.com/google-confirms-url-citations-can-help-pages-get-indexed/ ), and also that they don't pass page rank - HOWEVER, you would assume that google does use then as part of their alogrithm in some manner as they do nofollow links. It would seem to me that a "Citation Link" could (possibly) be deemed more important than a no follow link in Googles alogrithm, as a "no follow" link is a clear indication by the site owner that they don't fully trust the link, but a citation link would neither indicate trust or non trust. So - my request is to get "citation links" into the main link index (and the Just Discovered index for that matter). Would others agree??

Batch URL Error 413
Hello, i am using the free mozscape api to get the domain and page authority of urls. i am batching the url as shown in the sample code however i have over 500 URL i need to check and when running the request i get the following: stdClass Object ( [status] => 413 [error_message] => Too many urls in batch. Batches must be less than or equal to 200 urls. ) When i change it to 200 urls the request works fine, now is there a way to enable me to batch all 500 urls at once? i did read that the beta api is capable of batching urls in one request : http://moz.com/blog/400-higher-throughput-mozscape-api-now-in-beta-and-seeking-testers Has this been implemented yet into the current api? Thanks
