Server blocking crawl bot due to DOS protection and MOZ Help team not responding
-
First of all has anyone else not received a response from the help team, ive sent 4 emails the oldest one is a month old, and one of our most used features on moz on demand crawl to find broken links doesnt work and its really frustrating to not get a response, when we're paying so much a month for a feature that doesnt work.
Ok rant over now onto the actual issue, on our crawls we're just getting 429 errors because our server has a DOS protection and is blocking MOZ's robot, im sure it will be as easy as whitelisting the robots IP, but i cant get a response from MOZ with the IP.
Cheers, Fergus

Hi dave thanks for your response ill let our server provider the user agent.
I was contacting you using the contact form, putting in my email which is the same as the one used to log into moz, but not the email that was used when creating the account, which i think might've been the issue.

Hi Dougal!
We don't have any record of support requests coming from the email associated with your Moz Pro account. Can you let us know how you are reaching out (contact form or emailing us directly at help@moz.com)?
Unfortunately, we do not use a static IP address or range of IP addresses, as we have designed our crawler to have a dynamic approach. This means we use thousands of dynamic IP addresses which will change each time we run a crawl. This approach gives us the best dynamic view of the web, but it can make us incompatible with some servers or hosting providers. The best option I'd be able to suggest would be to identify our crawler by User-agent: rogerbot
You can read more about rogerbot in our guide.
Look forward to hearing back!

Unsolved Matomo Data Integration
As GA4 is not easily usable for all clients in the EU, it would be great if you could offer a Matomo integration. Matomo has recently been more and more popular and is used by a lot of companies, that are required to adhere to EU standards in data privacy.

Moz crawler is not able to crawl my website
Hello All, I'm facing an issue with the MOZ Crawler. Every time it crawls my website , there will be an error message saying " **Moz was unable to crawl your site on Sep 13, 2017. **Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site. This often occurs because of a server error from the robots.txt. Although this may have been caused by a temporary outage, we recommend making sure your robots.txt file is accessible and that your network and server are working correctly. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. " We changed the robots.txt file and checked it . but still the issue is not resolved. URL : https://www.khadination.shop/robots.txt Do let me know what went wrong and wjhat needs to be done. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you.

One of my Moz Campaigns was accidentally deleted. Any tips on getting it back?
I had a campaign setup with all of my keywords meticulously labeled and branded. Then by mistake, it was deleted. Is there any way I can restore/get the data back for an accidentally deleted campaign?

Is there an API to download keyword data?
Howdy fellow Mozzers, We're tracking a client's keyword rankings in one of our campaigns and want to export that data on a regular basis to display in Tableau. Tableau let's us quickly match up different data sources and create visuals with the data. It's useful for marrying different data sources that don't normally talk to each other. We know we can pull keyword tracking data manually, but we're hoping there's an API or scheduler that we can use to download the data automatically. Automating the process would be super helpful. Thank you!

Does seo moz toolbar work in safari? Can I avoid using Chrome or firefox?
I am using a Mac and use Safari for web. I am not very familiar with Google Chrome or Firefox. I started my trial with SEOMoz Pro and want to use it (loved it) but do not want to adapt myself to Google Chrome or Firefox - thus my hesitation. What limitations do I have with SEOMoz Pro in safari - e.g. Moz add-on in the toolbar? What would I be missing if I continue using Safari? I would much appreciate an honest and complete answer so that I can decide whether to use Google Chrome of Firefox. Thank you
