        My Moz API seems to be working fine. Are you using the free version or the paid? If you're on the free version you may simply be hitting it too hard & fast. I used to lose connection that way. If you're on the paid API, this would normally mean something has changed. Is this something you've used recently? Did you change your Moz password?  I mean ... we need a LOT more detail to help I suppose.

          Hello there! This is a greta place to get started but for API issues a better forum is available here - https://seomoz.zendesk.com/categories/6328-SEOmoz-APIs-and-Extras

          Our API dev forum is a great resource for our data customers.
