Unsolved Help with API Error: "Query Not Found" for a Specific URL
-
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to retrieve data for a specific URL using the Moz API, specifically the data.site.metrics.fetch method. The URL I'm querying is:
https://www.fiftyfiveandfive.com/ai-agents-marketings-new-means-of-production
When I make the API request, I receive the following 404 error:
{ "id": "unique-id-testing", "jsonrpc": "2.0", "error": { "code": -32655, "status": 404, "data": { "key": "site_query.query", "value": "https://www.fiftyfiveandfive.com/ai-agents-marketings-new-means-of-production" }, "message": "That query was not found." } }
However, when I check the URL in Moz Link Explorer, I can see that the page has a Page Authority of 23 and a Domain Authority of 36, but no backlinks or ranking keywords.
What I'm Trying to Achieve:
I’m attempting to retrieve metrics for this page via the API, but it seems like the API does not recognise the URL, even though it’s visible in Link Explorer.Questions:
-
Why does the API return "Query Not Found" for a URL that is indexed in Link Explorer?
-
Is there a way to request Moz to crawl or re-crawl this URL to ensure it's accessible via the API?
-
Are there any additional criteria the API requires (e.g., backlinks, ranking keywords) before it recognises a URL?
Additional Info:
-
I’ve verified that my robots.txt file allows all bots, including Rogerbot.
-
list itemThe page is included in the sitemap, and the URL is accessible without any restrictions.
-
list itemI’d appreciate any insights on how to resolve this issue or steps to take so that the Moz API can retrieve data for this URL.

Unsolved MOZ API for domain authority
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.

Unsolved Can I get Moz keywords via API?
Hi, my boss is asking if you "have any API for keyword research -- e.g., as soon as a user creates a card title in [our application], we can auto-recommend keywords from Moz within [the application]. I shared a link with him to your Links API page, but he says he doesn't think that API does the above. Can you help? Thank you, Renae
