      I am using the MOZ API to check domain authority (DA). Recently, I noticed a discrepancy: the DA value retrieved via the API differs from the result on the MOZ homepage. Specifically, the API returns a DA of 10, while the homepage shows "NO DATA." Additionally, other services like Ahrefs report a DA of 0. I relied on the MOZ API's result when purchasing this domain and now feel misled. I would like to understand the exact reason for this inconsistency.

        It's frustrating when tools provide inconsistent metrics, especially when those metrics influence important decisions like purchasing a domain. The discrepancy between the MOZ API and the homepage might stem from data sync issues or differences in how they display information. The "NO DATA" on the homepage could indicate insufficient crawl history or indexing issues, while the API might be pulling outdated or limited data.

        It's worth contacting MOZ support to clarify this, as they can provide insight into why this happens. Meanwhile, cross-referencing with other tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush is always a good practice to get a more holistic view. As someone who often collaborates with professionals like content writers Melbourne for domain projects, I understand how vital accurate data is for informed decisions. Hopefully, you can get to the bottom of this with MOZ's assistance!

          The discrepancy could be due to differences in how the MOZ API and homepage update or display data. The API might still show older data, while the homepage reflects a lack of indexed metrics. Ahrefs and MOZ use different methods to calculate metrics, which explains the "0" from Ahrefs. It’s best to contact MOZ support for clarification on your domain's DA.

            Unsolved "The account does not have access to that quota" - API v1 URL Metrics

            api url metrics v1

            Hi! On one of our servers we get the message "The account does not have access to that quota" when pulling data for v1 URL Metrics endpoint in the API.
            This only happens on one specific server, others have worked flawlessly. Any idea of what might be going on? Thanks

            Unsolved My DA does not increase and Moz does not recognize my links

            da page authority

            Hello everyone. My website (I am attaching the link to it, if you cannot attach the link remove it but please give me an answer) https://mejorhora.com/ 3 MONTHS ago I made different redirections from other websites that I have with high authority in order to increase both the Da and the DR since I sell links to that website and it suits me. Ahref showed me all the links after a few days, also in search console. However, in Moz it does not recognize more than 500 new domains that give me links. Because? It's been 3 months... What should I do?

            Can we get access to Moz's Rank Tracker via the API?

            I'd like to be able to pull the results from Rank Tracker into my own application. Can I access it via an API? I don't see it anywhere in the Moz documentation, which is usually a clear answer. If not, how do you suggest to automate the inclusion of this data without, for example, being blacklisted?
