Mozscape API Problem With Credentials
-
Yello everyone
Yesterday I generated Access ID and Secret Key to try the API, but it didn't work.
It's said that it might need 5 minutes, so I gave it something like 8 hours but it still didn't work afterwards.
I used the PHP sample and I checked it with the Sample Expires value and it produces the same Signature parameter as in the Sample Valid API Signature, so the PHP code sample and the Sample Valid API Signature are in sync.
In case you wonder - yes I changed the PHP sample by adding the valid strings for $accessID and $secretKey - I'm a long time programmer and I know what I'm doing with it.
I tried also the example URL from Sample Valid API Signature couple of times, refreshing each time to get new Expire parameter, but it's not working too.
Both the PHP sample and the Sample Valid API Signature are giving me this:
**{ "status" : "401", "error_message" : "Your authentication failed. Check your authentication details and try again. For more information on signed authentication, see: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/29574176/SignedAuthentication" }**
I am new here and if there is another place to look for support please just point it out and excuse me for wasting your time - I just couldn't see it and I really tried.
Thank you for your time to read this!

Your Access ID:

Well, obviously Rudy is a photography master.
Just... the photography masters don't create pics out of the blue - they are named masters coz they can expose something, say a shining smile of a wonderful person, without losing the touch and feel of it.
So once again - Rudy rullz!

So glad the API is working! And thanks for the compliments on the picture. Rudy Lopez, Jen Lopez's husband, took the picture for me. He's the one behind a lot of the pictures at SEOmoz and he does a great job.

Thanks a ton Keri!
Awesome pic btw.
And btw - I just tried it (the API, not the pic and it's working now!
Thanks again!

Hi Calvin,
The best place for an API question is probably over at the API discussion forum at https://seomoz.zendesk.com/categories/6328-seomoz-apis-and-extras, or just sending an email to help@seomoz.org. A few users of the API are here, but those two places are your best options. Thanks!

Thoughts on scraping SERPs and APIs
I'm perplexed about a couple of things. Google says that scraping keyword rankings is against their policy from what I've read. Bummer. We comprise a lot of reports and manual finding and entry was a pain. Enter Moz! We still manually check and compare, but it's nice having that tool. I'm confused now though about practices and getting SERPs in an automated way. Here are my questions Is it against policy to get SERPs from an automated method? If that is the case, isn't Moz breaking this policy with it's awesome keyword tracker? If it's not, and we wanted to grab that kind of data, how would we do it? Right now, Moz's API doesn't offer this data. I thought Raven Tools at one point offered this, but they don't now from what I've read. Are there any APIs out there that we can grab this data and do what we want with it? (let's day build our own dashboard)? Thanks for any clarification and input!

How can I correct this massive duplicate content problem?
I just updated a clients website which resulted in about 6000 duplicate page content errors. The way I set up my clients new website is I created a sub folder calles blog and installed wordpress on that folder. So when you go to suncoastlaw.com your taken to an html website, but if you click on the blog link in the nav, your taken to the to blog subfolder. The problem I'm having is that the url's seem to be repeating them selves. So for example, if you type in in http://suncoastlaw.com/blog/aboutus.htm/aboutus.htm/aboutus.htm/aboutus.htm/ that somehow is a legitimate url and is being considered duplicate content of of http://suncoastlaw.com/aboutus.htm/. This repeating url only seems to be a problem when the blog/ is in the url. Any ideas as to how I can fix this?
