      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:

      1. Why does the API return "Query Not Found" for a URL that is indexed in Link Explorer?

      2. Is there a way to request Moz to crawl or re-crawl this URL to ensure it's accessible via the API?

      3. 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.

        Unsolved MOZ API for domain authority

        api da

        I am using the MOZ API to check domain authority (DA). Recently, I noticed a discrepancy: the DA value retrieved via the API differs from the result on the MOZ homepage. Specifically, the API returns a DA of 10, while the homepage shows "NO DATA." Additionally, other services like Ahrefs report a DA of 0. I relied on the MOZ API's result when purchasing this domain and now feel misled. I would like to understand the exact reason for this inconsistency.

        moz api access token

        Hi, In March we have updated password for MOZ API and used in our application it worked, but currently the updated password is not working and in the MOZ site the old password is shown and its active. We are using Legacy username and password.

        Unsolved "The account does not have access to that quota" - API v1 URL Metrics

        api url metrics v1

        Hi! On one of our servers we get the message "The account does not have access to that quota" when pulling data for v1 URL Metrics endpoint in the API.
        This only happens on one specific server, others have worked flawlessly. Any idea of what might be going on? Thanks

        API - Row Limit Question

        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
