3 result limit to Top Pages API call

[solodev]

I am using the MOZ API to make calls for the top pages for a particular URL. However, when I pass in any limit value greater than 3 the API only returns 3 results.  I have even tried to put in URLs like 'www.moz.com' and still only 3 results.  Sample call to the API below:

http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/top-pages/www.moz.com?AccessID=member-xxxxxxxxx&Expires=1419020831&Signature=xxxxxxxxx&Cols=2052&Offset=0&Limit=50

Hello!

Can you tell me which cols values you are using that adds up to 2052? It may be the metrics you are filtering only has 3 results.

Hey David

The col values that add up to 2052 are "Links" at 2048 and "Canonical URL" at 4.  I have since tried to change out the cols value to be different amounts but it seems that the call only wants to return 3 results.

Is there certain col values that will restrict the number or results?  If so which ones?

I seem to be having the same type of issue when using the Anchor Text API as well.  Doing the call below returns only 3 results for www.moz.com.

http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/anchor-text/www.moz.com?AccessID=member-xxxxxxxx&Expires=1419351558&Signature=xxxxxxxxxx&Scope=term_to_page&Sort=domains_linking_page&Filter=external&Cols=2&Limit=20

I am pretty sure I have the right kind of account that the number of results that come back should not be limited.  I have tried changing out the Scope, Sort, Filter, and Cols but every time there is only 3 results.

Any help would be awesome.  Thanks.

Hi Solodev

I can confirm the free access only allows URL and Link Metrics. You would need a paid API plan to be able to request top pages and anchor text.

The lowest paid plan would be for Low Volume
