Help with SEOmoz API

[thegreatpursuit]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to make API requests from my webserver via PHP. I'd like to retrieve data from the SEOmoz URL Metrics API. Unfortunately I always get the error response "unauthorized" even when I copy and paste the Sample Valid API Signature generated by your system into the browser.

Is Signed Authentication not longer supported? I even tried the sample PHP Code SignedAuth.php but there's the same problem, too.

If signed authentication is not longer available, do you have a code example for the basic http authorization?

Thanks,

Brandon

Hello there! This is more of a customer service question than an SEO question, so definitely hit up our support forums at http://seomoz.zendesk.com. Specifically, the API Developer's Forum is where you should post questions about the API: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293196-developer-discussion-group. If it's account-specific, you can always write in a support question to help@seomoz.org.

I'm not familiar with PHP, but if you try to make the call using the http sample code provided at www.seomoz.org/api you should be able to get data back. If you need help with other sample code, hit up those API forums and check our the API Wiki: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/13991133/SEOmoz-API-Home.

Hope that helps! See you on the forums.
