Can the API Filter Links with Certain Anchor Text?

[nbyloff]

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'

Is there a chance to use Moz API in Python? According to the pricing of Moz maybe it is free?

I had built a pull request for this issue, but thank you for jumping on it yourself. I'll try it tomorrow. Marking this as complete. I'll re-open if there's any issues. Thanks!

I've just fixed the code with this latest pull request:

If you download the latest version it should be fixed for you now.

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.
