Can the API Filter Links with Certain Anchor Text?
-
I am trying to get all links that have a certain strings in their anchor text: I am using the python library: https://github.com/seomoz/SEOmozAPISamples/blob/master/python/lsapi.py
Looking at the documentation, it says I can get the normalized anchor text by using the bit flag 8 for the LinkCols value:
https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-api/mozscape/api-reference/link-metrics
So I tried this:
links = l.links('example.com', scope='page_to_domain', sort='domain_authority', filters=['external'], sourceCols = lsapi.UMCols.url, linkCols=8)
But it doesn't return the expected 'lnt' response field or anything similar to the anchor text. How do I get the anchor text on the source URLs?
I also tried 10 for the linkCols value, to get all the bit flags in the lf field as well as the anchor text. In both instances (and even with different variations of targetCols & sourceCols), this is all the fields that are returned:
'lrid', 'lsrc', 'luuu', 'uu', 'luupa', 'ltgt'

Hi Nathan,
I am the manager of the team looking after the API. I am sorry that snippet does not seem to work. I'll get one of the team to have a look at that fist thing in the morning.

Just noticed it appears the python links library is broken right now. I will try another language.

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="">";

Lost many links and keyword ranks since moz index update
Hi All, I came back from work today from a week off to find my site has gone from 681 external inbound links to 202. With this my domain authority, moz trust and moz rank have all also taken a slip. Compounding this, I am seeing a slip most of my keywords rankings. If i try to use the open site explorer to explore my links and see what going on i get the message It looks like we haven't discovered link data for this site or URL. If i check the just discovered links like it suggests I get It looks like there's no Just-Discovered Links data for this URL yet. I know these features worked before the index as i used them. Is this all attributable to the moz index issues that have been noted or could something have happened to my site? Since i started 2 months ago I have made many changes including... Updating the site map that was 4 years out of date and included 400 broken urls Removed blank pages and other useless webpages on the site that contained no content (from the previous administrator) Edited a few pages content from keyword spammy stuff to nicely written and relevant content Fixed url rewrites that made loops and un-accessible product pages All these changes should be for the better but the latest readings have me a little worried. Thanks.

Any idea why HubSpot (which uses the MOZ api) can find our backlinks but OSE can not?
Links are showing up in the HubSpot link tool within a couple of days. OSE has our site showing zero backlinks. ahrefs is finding them too but that makes more sense. Does the API update more frequently than OSE? Any thoughts? Thanks!

About Expiry of MOZ API authentication and MOZ API call in .NET application
MOZ API signed authentication is getting expire after particular time, and coming up with the error "Authentication has expired , Re-send your authentication". **right now we are getting new authentication details using ** https://moz.com/products/api/keys after doing login. but, how do we get new credentials (authentication details) , by doing MOZ API call using c# or any other programming language, we are using this API in .NET. Also, How we can increase the session expiry time. i think it is concerned with the Sample Expires of Signed authentication , but we are unable to change it , as it is coming with the authentication failed.
