      Guys, there's an example to batching URLs using PHP:

      http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/php

      Which is the maximum number of URLs I can add to that batch?

        SEOmoz recommends batch requests of 10 URLs according to their API wiki http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/url-metrics it states that any batch request larger than this will output a 400 error from the server.

        Hope that helps!

        Zach

          Thanks Zachary. I made a test adding a lot of URLs. SEOmoz says the limit is 200 or less URLs at the same time. So, what I have to use... the 10 URLs limit or the 200?

          Currently Im able to get data of 200 URLs at the same time, that's great for me!

            As far as I know the limit was 10. That article on the APIWiki says the same. I do know, as a premium subscriber, that the # of batch requests per second is 200, however.

            Quote from the API Wiki:

            "You can submit up to 10 URLs for every batch request. Larger batch requests will return an HTTP 400 response."

            I'd just be careful, because if your not getting a 400 response, they may end up throttling you.

            Hope this helps

              Yes, it's weird. I currently have the Pro plan. I'm doing queries using 200 URLs at the same time with no issues ;). The only limitation is the time: I have to make a query and wait for 10 seconds to perform another 😕

              This request exceeds the limit allowed by your current plan.

              Thank you Zach, have a good day!
