          I wanted to test the API and while looking on the documentation urls, I cannot find details on how to get Domain Authority.

          • is that not available to query ?
          • was it replaced by Brand Authority ?
          • is it only available for the paid API or for the free one too ?

          I looked at many documentation pages but I find it very confusing and frustrating, there are many versions of the documentation and various URLs and not clearly labeled, I understand some are V1, V2, V3, etc, but I didn't find sample API calls for Domain Authority.

          Thank you.

            To get Domain Authority (DA) using an API:

            Choose a Service: Use platforms like Moz, Ahrefs, or SEMrush, which provide domain metrics.
            Sign Up: Create an account and subscribe to a plan that includes API access.
            Get API Key: Obtain an API key or token for authentication.
            Make Requests: Use the API to query DA for specific domains via tools like Postman or scripts.👍

              Sign Up for Moz Pro: You need a Moz Pro account to access the API, which provides programmatic access to Moz's metrics, including Domain Authority (DA), Page Authority (PA), and other link metrics.

                1. Moz API (Official Domain Authority Provider)
                  Moz is the creator of the Domain Authority metric, and it provides an API to fetch DA data.

                Steps:
                Sign Up for Moz API Access:

                Visit Moz's API page and create an account.
                Choose a plan (free plans may have limited functionality).
                Generate API Credentials:

                After signing up, generate your API key (Access ID and Secret Key).
                Use the API to Fetch Domain Authority:

                The URL Metrics API endpoint provides domain metrics.
                Send a request including your API credentials and the domain name.

                  @adrianTNT I understand your frustration with the documentation, as it can be challenging to navigate through multiple versions and unclear URLs. Based on my experience, Domain Authority is typically part of paid API plans, and some platforms might have shifted focus to metrics like Brand Authority. It would help if the documentation included clearer labeling and sample API calls.

                    I understand your frustration with the documentation. It can be challenging to navigate through various versions. As far as I know, Domain Authority might not be directly accessible in the newer API versions and could be replaced by Brand Authority metrics. It's worth checking if it's exclusive to the paid API. For clarity, reaching out to their support team might help. Best of luck!

                        To get Domain Authority (DA) using an API, you can use services from providers like Moz, Ahrefs, or Semrush, which offer APIs that include domain authority and similar metrics. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get Domain Authority using the Moz API, one of the most popular tools for this metric:

                        1. Register for a Moz API Key
                          Go to the Moz API page at Moz API.
                          Sign up for an account and generate an Access ID and Secret Key. You’ll need these credentials to authenticate your API requests.
                        2. Make an API Request to Retrieve Domain Authority
                          The Moz API’s Link Explorer endpoint can provide Domain Authority data.

                          You can get Domain Authority using APIs like Moz, SEMrush, or Ahrefs by integrating their API with your system.

                            SEMrush: They provide a different metric, “Authority Score,” which is available via API with a SEMrush subscription.
                            Free Domain Authority Checkers: Some free tools offer DA lookups, but they may not provide API access without premium plans.

                              Hi there @adrianTNT
                              Sorry for the confusion, we have new shiny methods to call DA being released shortly, until then you can use the current V2 API - https://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/help/links-api/making-calls/url-metrics

                              We have more info on using the Moz API and limits here https://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/help/links-api

                                "How can I find Domain Authority details through the API?"

                                Or, if you want a more detailed question:

                                "Is Domain Authority available to query through the API, or has Brand Authority replaced it? I checked multiple documentation versions (V1, V2, V3, etc.) but couldn't find a clear answer. Could you clarify if Domain Authority is only accessible via a paid API, and provide sample API calls for it if available?"

                                This should encourage a clear response on whether Domain Authority is supported, if Brand Authority is a replacement and details on the access level required.

                                  Unsolved Help with API Error: "Query Not Found" for a Specific URL

                                  api

                                  Hi everyone, I'm trying to retrieve data for a specific URL using the Moz API, specifically the data.site.metrics.fetch method. The URL I'm querying is: https://www.fiftyfiveandfive.com/ai-agents-marketings-new-means-of-production When I make the API request, I receive the following 404 error: { "id": "unique-id-testing", "jsonrpc": "2.0", "error": { "code": -32655, "status": 404, "data": { "key": "site_query.query", "value": "https://www.fiftyfiveandfive.com/ai-agents-marketings-new-means-of-production" }, "message": "That query was not found." } } However, when I check the URL in Moz Link Explorer, I can see that the page has a Page Authority of 23 and a Domain Authority of 36, but no backlinks or ranking keywords. What I'm Trying to Achieve:
                                  I’m attempting to retrieve metrics for this page via the API, but it seems like the API does not recognise the URL, even though it’s visible in Link Explorer. Questions: Why does the API return "Query Not Found" for a URL that is indexed in Link Explorer? Is there a way to request Moz to crawl or re-crawl this URL to ensure it's accessible via the API? Are there any additional criteria the API requires (e.g., backlinks, ranking keywords) before it recognises a URL? Additional Info: I’ve verified that my robots.txt file allows all bots, including Rogerbot. list itemThe page is included in the sitemap, and the URL is accessible without any restrictions. list itemI’d appreciate any insights on how to resolve this issue or steps to take so that the Moz API can retrieve data for this URL.

                                  WordPress Sub-directory for SEO

                                  wordpress subdirectory domain authority

                                  Hi There, I'm working on a WordPress site that includes a premium content blog with approx 900 posts. As part of the project, those 900 posts and other membership functionality will be moved from the main site to another site built specifically for content/membership. Ideally, we want the existing posts to remain on the root domain to avoid a loss in link juice/domain authority. We initially began setting up a WordPress Multisite using the sub-directory option. This allows for the main site to be at www.website.com and the secondary site to be at www.website.com/secondary. Unfortunately, the themes and plugins we need for the platform do not play nicely with WordPress Multisite, so we started seeking a new solution, and, discovered that a second instance of WordPress can be installed in a subdirectory on the server. This would give us the same subdirectory structure while bypassing WordPress Multisite and instead, having two separate single-site installs. Do you foresee any issues with this WordPress subdirectory install? Does Google care/know these are two separate WordPress installs and do we risk losing any link juice/domain authority?

                                  Unsolved Moz doesn't find backlinks for months / link tracking list offline

                                  link tracking list link explorer backlinks domain authority

                                  Hi there
                                  I want to share a big problem with you. Moz tracking list seems to be offline or having trouble finding links. I have an example:
                                  The page where the backlink has been placed was created months ago. As you can see on the picture:
                                  Link to the page is http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/profile/tableauxdumonde
                                  Backlink on that page is https://ggongtime.com/ Picture shows clearly that the page of backlink (Microsoft) has been indexed and already has got it's own backlinks in Moz (8) but it is still not linking to the backlink website (ggongtime.com).
                                  I've also attached a picture of page source where you can clearly see that it is a html link and is dofollow.
                                  The problem remains since 3 months and I want to find out what is going on. This Microsoft page is one of example. There are hundreds of other pages being found, or not, and are still not showing up in Link Explorer on website's portfolio.
                                  I want to know if there is a technical problem with link explorer, or anything else, because this is a serious problem for me. moz problem.png

                                  Wrong answers for API request

                                  Hi, I just recently started getting errors when using the API. The request back contains zeros for all the keys except PDA which is a new to me. Haven't changed anything in the code and the authorization seems to work fine. Is this something on my end? However, I don't get for all the requests, perhaps half of the time. Example of the return: {"fmrp":0,"fmrr":0,"pda":27.7812456171725224,"ueid":0,"uid":0,"uipl":0,"umrp":0,"umrr":0,"upa":1} Thanks in advance! /Mathias

                                  API Limit Question

                                  Hi, I am unfamiliar with API's in general but never had an issue with being throttled until today. I used the api a lot heavier today which is why. According to the API dashboard I made 5100 "requests" today and 21,000 "rows returned". I am using a MOZ PRO account and have been throttled as a result. I am wondering when does it reset? Is it a daily, weekly, or monthly limit that I hit and what is the limit? Thanks
