      Hi

      I've created a script that I'd like to use to check a list of domains using the Moz API.

      It works totally fine on my local machine.

      However, when I run it from my EC2 instance, it fails every time. To be specific, the response is always empty (the response is an empty json array) when the request is sent from EC2.

      Is, for some reason, EC2 blocked by the Moz API?

      Many thanks for your help, Andrew

        Hi Andrew,

        I'm also using EC2 instances to pull data from the Moz API but I don't have had any issues. Are you sure the script is working, what kind of programming language are you using/ script to pull the data in?

        Martijn.

          Thanks Martijn, there was a simple error in the code that got discovered.

          All good now, but thanks for the reply 🙂
