Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Todd, Thanks for reaching out to us! Keyword Explorer is updated about every 2 weeks. Also a keyword API is on our roadmap, and we'd love to hear your feedback about it. We have a short survey available here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YZ58JVH I hope this helps but definitely let me know if there's anything else I can assist with! Eli

Hey there Po! We'd need the full call to the API to check on this, not the code from your app that assembles it. I would recommend sending that full call to use at help@moz.com to keep your data private. Thanks!

Hi there! Thanks for the question. You are correct - at this time the API does not offer a way to call information about Discovered and Lost Links. Link Explorer and the index that supports it, including the API connection, are pretty new and still in beta testing. However, this is a call the team would like to add in the future, so keep an eye out! Please let us know if you have any other questions, or any other features you are interested in seeing added. Thanks!

yes, thank you:) but if we call api for backlinks and then cross reference this with the links found the last time, we are able to get only NET links, but we want to get "just discovered and lost links" separately.  for example: inbound links for 27 July is 600, inbound links for 30 July is 750, okay, NET links from 27 July to 30 July = 750-600=150. And in this case "discovered and lost links" maybe: 400 and -250, 300 and -150, 150 and 0, and etc. Maybe I can not understand something, give example please. Thank you!

Hello, Dave Thank you for your response. Maybe there are some workaround to get this metrics? For us, it is very important to use API,  or calculate it some mathematics way. Thank!

No problem

Hey vijay, Got it. Thanks!

Thank you very much!!!!

Hi There, Can you post an example of the error you are getting Regards, Vijay

Hey Marc, thanks for contacting us! So one thing that might explain the discrepency is that MozBar reads on page elements, where the crawler is looking at the raw source code.  Can you send in an email to help@moz.com with some example URLs that we can check out? thanks!

I was using seostats from github that used the mozscape api and made calls like this. the query was for seo so all the domains would have results . starting to think it might be an issue on seostats end. id loop over the results from google from that keyword then display the da/pa in the screenshot I blocked out the domains, but I attached a new screenshot, now If I only check 3 domains it works fine, anything over that says n.a use \SEOstats\Services\Google as Google; use \SEOstats\Services\Mozscape as Mozscape; $getKeyword = $_POST['keyword']; $serps = Google::getSerps($getKeyword, 3); foreach ($serps as $serp) { $serp = $serp['url']; $pageAuthority = Mozscape::getPageAuthority($serp); $domainAuthority = Mozscape::getDomainAuthority($serp); $backlinks = Google::getBacklinksTotal($serp); echo " "; echo "" . $serp. " "; echo "Page Authority: " . round($pageAuthority) . " "; echo "Domain Authority: " . round($domainAuthority) . ""; echo " "; } ?> 11rw3f7.png

No problem! I have seen a case before where one of the pages on the Moz website had a PA of 1 (perhaps it was a very new page!) Eli

There's no single API that does all of this but you can chain a couple of them together to get what you want. As Tawny pointed out, it's a technical task and you may need the help of a web developer. As you have access to SEMRush, you can use their "organic results" API call which, given the keyword you're interested in, will return the top ranking URLs. You can see the documentation specific to that call here. So that gets you from your starting point (being interested in a query) to having the top URLs. You can limit the number of rows returned by the SEMRush API—sounds like you'd only want the first 10 rows (i.e. the top 10 results for the keyword). Now taking that list you can send it to the Moz API's UrlMetrics call. This will give you back DA, PA, Trust Flow, and so on, for each URL. Neither tool will tell you the word count. If you need to calculate that, you'll have to crawl the pages somehow. It depends whether you really need to completely automate everything. If "semi-automation" is good enough, I'd suggest that your script, after fetching the top ranking URLs from SEMRush, writes them out to a CSV as well. Then you can use Screaming Frog in list mode to crawl all of the URLs listed in the CSV. So everything would be automated except for gathering the word counts. You'd have to stitch together the results from your Screaming Frog crawl with the data you had back from Moz. If everything must be automated, and you really need word count or other on-page information, your script will also need to crawl the pages. And for this you'll certainly need a developer familiar with technologies like Selenium, for crawling and scraping web pages. In almost all use cases, that's overkill, so I'd suggest focussing on the SEMRush and Moz APIs for now.

Hi there Jo from the help team here! I can see that Dave replied to your previous query indicating that we strive to complete the index early, and so in this case we have! You can find out more about the latest update here https://moz.com/products/api/updates Best wishes, Jo Ps: I accidentally replied whilst I was accessing your account, I've now deleted the accidental reply.

Hi, Talk to the SEMrush team if you want something like this, I don't like advertising for them here but they can offer you full reports on the keywords your competitors are ranking for in both paid and organic search. You can retrieve a few hundred through their regular subscriptions, their API for some credits or get in touch with their team for a full export of the data they have (most expensive). Martijn.

Hi! Nathalie, from DashThis again. I'm glad you're liking some of our features, namely, the ease-of-use of our system! Just wanted to let you know that Gab, your account manager here, has actually just written you an email to answer your questions regarding our integration with Moz, as well as to address a few other concerns of yours! Hopefully, we can get you everything you need with the DashThis - Moz integration!

Thanks Gaston for your comments! Hey Jim, First of all, apologies for the wrong timeframe, it was in fact updated on 8th January and the next expected update will be  February 26th. The Mozscape index, which powers Open Site Explorer, is still growing, and while it is large, our index doesn't cover the entire web. When we collect this data, we’re looking specifically for the most valuable links and, rather than crawling your entire site or every site, we collect this by starting our crawler on a few highest ranking sites and letting it perform a breadth first search to see what it finds. It is also possible that we found your links again, but that they did not meet our relevancy threshold and were excluded from the index. Because the Index is an automated process, there isn't one single 'technique' you can use to get picked up. The best thing you can do to help your links become re-indexed in OSE is to work on building links from sites with high Mozrank. We do recommend using a wide variety of backlink tools to get the most illustrative picture of how your site's backlink profile looks, as Gaston mentioned. OSE and Ahrefs index differently and have different purposes. Ahrefs is good for quantity while OSE is great for finding higher quality links. You can read more about how we build our index in our guide here. On a positive note we do have plans in the works to improve and broaden out the data we have in the index, keep an eye out! I hope this helps - let me know if you have any further questions! Eli

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. I took a look at your Campaign, and I think the reason we found fewer pages for your most recent crawl was that we got caught up in pages we'd already seeing as a result of redirect issues. I would recommend taking a close look at your redirect issues and see if you can resolve those — after that we should be able to crawl more pages again. I hope this helps! If you still have questions, please write in to us at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to answer them all.

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here! It looks like your Moz Pro Campaign's Site Crawl for that site came back with results — I see data waiting for you in your Campaign. Where did we report that we couldn't crawl your site? I'd love to help, if I can! Feel free to drop us a line at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to sort everything out!

Hi there! Yes, this would be the same issue, definitely. I'm sorry about any confusion there!
