I know, I promised a Linkscape update by last week. And I missed it. But there's an update today! Do you forgive me? No? Not enough? Well how about doubling the volume of data available in our free API? You might have gotten a totally awesome email last week announcing that the free SEOmoz API is now serving up to 1,000 links. This email was so awesome I just had to share it (nice work Scott!)
This is the same free API that's powering tons of internal reporting tools and plenty of tools you might have already seen. This includes Carter Cole's SEO Site Tools toolbar which went volcanic last month. And he's not even showing lists of links. So by some math there's 1000 times more power available!
But seriously, there have been comparisons made between what we're doing and what you can do with Yahoo! Site Explorer. The Yahoo! Site Explorer API offers up to 1,000 links. And there's no reason we can't do the same.
What do you get with the free API? You get a lot:
- Up to 1,000 links to a page, subdomain or root domain (sorted by Page Authority of the linking page)
- Anchor text for those 1,000
- Aggregate anchor text counts across all links in our index
- HTTP status code
- nofollow indicators
- Plenty of metrics for data junkies
We've got a community submissions page on our wiki, and we love to share neat apps. So if you build something on our API, send it our way and we'll make sure the community hears about it.
Now I am not afraid of losing Yahoo links.
That's exactly the response I was hoping for :)
Thinking that's what this tool was made for, as replacement (and huge improvement on) Yahoo Site Explorer, even down to the similar name :P
Nice! i love to use the API :)
Sounds Good. Nick can we get the Moz toolbar updated? Not working in Firefox 3.6. Also any news of the authority metrics being added?
I'll get the team on all of those things pronto. I think you'll be pleased with what we're cooking.
Actually the current toolbar does work in 3.6, it should have automatically updated. But if it didn't, you may just need to uninstall and reinstall. But... if you wait just a couple days, we have an all new toolbar coming out. :D
I'm eagerly awaiting the toolbar update gang. Can't wait to see what you've done to it.
Ok, I'll just hold tight...
Having trouble getting the queries to work, copy exactly from samples and put in own data but nada
documentation is for rocket scientists
Sorry about that. If you post to the forum (groups.google.com/group/seomoz-api) we can get you squared away. If you prefer you could also contact the support alias api [at] seomoz [dot] org
Thanks for your help with the troubleshoot Nick... and for the update- even if it is a few days late :)
Great job!
