Sometimes Data is not Showing

Hi, Sometimes the data are not showing. for (page authority,dmoz rank) i need to re do the test/ then it will come up:

Here is my code:

	/* Get SEOmoz Data
	-------------------------------------------------- */
		public function getSeoMoz($domain, $accessid = "", $secret = "")
		{
			try
			{
				$access_id = (empty($accessid) ? $_SESSION['SEOMOZ_API_ACCESSID'] : $accessid);
				$secret_key = (empty($secret) ? $_SESSION['SEOMOZ_API_SECRETKEY'] : $secret);
                                $expires = time() + 5000;
				$stringToSign = $access_id."\n".$expires;
				$binarySignature = hash_hmac('sha1', $stringToSign, $secret_key, true);
				$urlSafeSignature = base64_encode($binarySignature);

			$callback_url = "http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/url-metrics/www." . $domain . "?";
				$data = array(
					'Cols'		=> '68719493120',
					'AccessID'	=> $access_id,
					'Expires'	       => $expires,
					'Signature'	=> $urlSafeSignature
				);

				$curl_response = $this->curl->get($callback_url . http_build_query($data, '', '&'));

				if ($curl_response->headers['Status-Code'] == "200") {
					$parse_response = json_decode($curl_response, true);
					$domain_authority = $parse_response['pda'];
                                        $mozrank = $parse_response['umrp'];

                    $response = array(
						'status' => 'success',
						'data' => array(
						'domain_authority' => (int)round($domain_authority),
                                                'mozrank' => (int)round($mozrank)
						)
					);
                                        } else {
                                                   $response = array(
						        'status' => 'error',
						           'msg' => 'SEOMoZ Response Error.'
					);
                                      }
			            }
			  catch (Exception $e)
			                              {
				                       $response = array(
					                     'status' => 'error',
					                        'msg' => $e->getMessage()
				                        );
			         }
			return $response;		
		}

Getting uncompleted $contents.

Has anyone encounter same situation as we do?
Sending a $batchedDomains containing 50 domains, however I receive only 49 responses of $contents.

Constant not defined

In the PHP examples, the constant LINKS_COL_URL is not defined.

Line 25: 'link_cols' => LINKS_COL_URL,

This constant should be defined in links_constants.php

Time out occurs too frequent.

Time out occurs too frequent.
Is anyone experience same situation?

PHP Library mistakingly converts to POST

Line 35 of ConnectionUtil.php should read:
if (is_array($postParams) && count($postParams) > 0) {

instead of just:
if (count($postParams) > 0) {

latest versions of php 5.3 made a change where an empty string passed to count returns 1, so this code will think $postParams = "" should be a post, which it typically is for the metrics calls.

I recently upgraded my php version to find this error. Everything was working fine prior.
Here is someone's php comment suggesting change:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.count.php#98291

Different Result Between API & Moz Result

Hi there
I just tried the example PHP Code to get the DA & PA data and the result is different compared to result from Moz website.

Sample code result:
{"uu":"www.seomoz.org/","upa":64,"pda":77}

Moz result:
DA: 81
PA: 84

Python sample broken

The code example is not functional:

    class MozscapeError(StandardError):
E   NameError: name 'StandardError' is not defined

PHP API change the values of the url metrics constants to ints

Just a thought, but you may want to consider changing the constants defined in php/complete/constants/url_metrics_constants.php to integers instead of strings. Should make something like the following easier to use:

$cols = URLMETRICS_COL_EXTERNAL_LINKS + URLMETRICS_COL_LINKS + URLMETRICS_COL_MOZRANK;

Document python installation via pip

You can install via pip as follows:

pip install git+https://github.com/seomoz/SEOmozAPISamples.git#egg=mozscape&subdirectory=python

External Equity Links should be added in the Free Columns

I'm using the Python library and when I look at the lsapi.py file I see that the externalLinks column (with the BitFlag of 32) says it's not available to users with a free account. However, when I reference your API documentation it shows that it is available with a free account. See here

Can we add this to the lsapi.UMCols.freeCols attribute?

Python - "links" function missing capability

In the "mozscape.py" file, the links function does not include all possible parameters. Notably, the Limit and Offset parameters do not exist. Could these features be added, so use of the API for python developers does not require building another module from a third-party library like requests?

def links(
            self, url, scope='page_to_page', sort='page_authority',
            filters=['internal'],
            targetCols=(UMCols.url | UMCols.pageAuthority),
            sourceCols=(UMCols.url | UMCols.pageAuthority),
            linkCols=0):
        """This is currently broken. Have not figured it out"""
        return self.query(
            'links/%s' % quote(url),
            Scope=scope,
            Sort=sort,
            Filter='+'.join(filters),
            TargetCols=targetCols,
            SourceCols=sourceCols,
            LinkCols=linkCols)

Thank you for considering this request.

LinksService

PHP Examples not working

I've set the values for the API Keys.

The files contained within the examples folder hangs and does not receive a response when run:

/php/complete/examples/

However, I am getting a successful response from these PHP files when run:

/php/signed_authentication_sample.php
/php/batching_urls_sample.php

Is there anything I'm missing?

Thanks!
Mark

Returns empty in PHP

Upon testing the samples in the php folder, it now returns empty response.

print_r

I have notices that in all PHP services "print_r($urlToFetch);" is left. Is this necessary?

Java API: Can't accomodate large bit flags (col parameters)

In the 4 service class the col parameter is long so it can't accept large number. (Ex: For Url Metrics you can't retrieve the Domain Authority since its bit flag is 68719476736.)

This should probably be renamed MozscapeAPISamples

The repo name has gone stale, we should rename it. We need to find the places that link to this repo.

Permission denied (python)

Running the example in python with newly generated credentials gives me this :/ Not sure what to understand from that.

I see "Permission denied" — but I'm not sure what more to do
