Hi - thanks for reaching out to us.
In Postman, if you click on raw instead of form-data in Body, you can get results using the syntax found here: https://moz.com/help/links-api/making-calls/url-metrics. In your example, you could write:
{
"targets":["facebook.com"]
}
This should successfully return results for you. If you continue to run into issues, I would suggest reaching out to support at help@moz.com.
thanks!

Unsolved Can I get Moz keywords via API?
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

Although the future API of the question of "URL Metrics", I want you to forgive me English is very immature thing. I'm very troubled now.
If you call the "API" in the manner described below, such PHP of the program, "403 Forbidden" is the result.
Because the information when you visit the URL directly is displayed, we suspect the PHP of the problem.
About the cause, it will be saved in a very and Nowak advice.
Whether Thank you. code $accessID = "<removed for="" privacy="">";
$secretKey = "<removed for="" privacy="">";
$expires = time() + 300;
$SignInStr = $accessID. "\n" .$expires;
$binarySignature = hash_hmac('sha1', $SignInStr, $secretKey, true);
$SafeSignature = urlencode(base64_encode($binarySignature));
$objURL = "http://www.google.com";
$flags = "103079217188";
$reqUrl = "http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/url-metrics/".urlencode($objURL)."?Cols=".$cols."&AccessID=".$accessID."&Expires=".$expires."&Signature=".$SafeSignature;
$opts = array(CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true);
$curlhandle = curl_init($reqUrl);
curl_setopt_array($curlhandle, $opts);

curl_close($curlhandle);

Hello, I'd like to know if moz api is able to provide me the crawl reports. We're currently developing a simple crawl report analysis/parsing tool and after analysing the API we weren't able to find a function that could return us wether the excel file or the report results. Is there any way? Thank you very much.

Will the MOZ API display
will the MOZ API display rank, social and page data So I can create my own dashboard? We are looking to head off the 100% not provided and need to add to our reporting program. I was hoping the MOZ API would allow us to integrate the page views per url with ranking data that the campaigns provide. We are also interested in adding the social metrics for twitter and facebook to our client facing portal. any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
