API - Row Limit Question

[MattHopkins]

Hi,

I'm new to using Moz, and have just got a "Low volume" API account set up. My question is, because ive not yet reached my maximum "Rows per month" limit, what behaviour happens when i reach it?

Do i get an error code, if so what, and whats the status code. If not, does my account keep downloading the rows and i get charged extra (in accordance with the cost of the additional rows)? Or is the whole additional rows think like a bolt on?

Basically i want to make sure i dont get charged extra each month, and i need the status code returned to handled this in my app. I couldnt see anything explicit in the documents.

Cheers

Hey There,

Currently the only way to know when you have reached your row limit is to monitor the API Dashboard - https://moz.com/products/mozscape/usage . You would then want to cease from pulling more rows for that month, or risk overage charges of $10.00 per 10k rows. Let me know if there are any other questions on this. I am the API Account Manager, so feel free to reach out directly - IanW@Moz.com

Cheers!

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your response. Thats a pain! It would be nice to see this as a feature in the future. I'll tweak my app accordingly.

Cheers.
