MOZ API - Search Visibility
-
Hello there,
We are looking to see if we can recreate the Search Visibility report through the API. We are wondering which API parameters and metrics we should use to recreate the report? Also, we want to distinguish between traffic coming from desktops and mobile traffic. Is this possible with the API? Which type of account do we need to use for these functionalities: the free account or paid account? We are currently using a free account.
Also: we are wondering if can access historical data with the API? For instance: we want to determine the domain authority from October 2016 off on. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Bart Minten

Hello Lisa,
Thank you for your fast response! Good to hear that Moz has plans for a keyword API! We are greatly looking forward to that! In the meantime we'll make due with the current functionalities.
Kind regards,
Bart

Hi there Bart,
Lisa from the Moz help team here!
No, I'm afraid that it would not be possible to use the API this way. The Search Visibility metric depends entirely on keyword rankings and we don't currently offer an API for this or traffic data. We calculate Search Visibility by:
- Taking all of your keywords and the associated URL’s position and applying a click through rate (CTR) for each position.
- The CTRs are then summed
- This number is then divided by the total number of keywords.
We do have a keyword API in our future plans and there is survey you can take to register your interest in a keyword API and tell us what kinds of things you're looking for: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YZ58JVH
We use the traffic data provided by GA. You would need to investigate this directly to distinguish between mobile and desktop visits.
Our API contains the link data that you see in Open Site Explorer and only contains the data from the most recent update. The only place to see historical link data is within the campaign. We'd love to be able to store and show previous data as part of our API but we'd need a much bigger boat (by which I mean data center).

Unsolved Mozscape API subscription
We have questions regarding our subscription and the plan we are on. We are more interested in Mozscape API and not the features that we have access to currently. Will you let us know how we can change. Is there some one that we can chat with. Thanks,

Can the API give the same data as the UI?
What I mean is, I'm not that interested in counts. What I'd like to figure out is how to get the API to give me what the UI gives me , so that for a given target domain I can download a report with the following fields: URL
API | | StevePoul
Title
Anchor Text
Spam Score
PA
DA
Linking Domains to Page
Target URL
Link Type
Link State
Date First Seen
Date Last Seen
Date Lost
HTTP Status Code
Links to Page
Outbound Domains from Page
Outbound Links from Page
Operator profile That's essentially the same as a CSV report generated by clicking on the "Export CSV" button. I could ,I suppose, get someone to write something in Selenium to enter a domain, click on the button and hang around on the notifications page for the results but I'd really rather not.1 -

Moz Local, only did 3 listings...
I used Moz local and it only successfully created 3 listings.. the rest all require I manually add the information. Seems like a steep price for 3 listings. I was under the impression it would do more than that. And on top of that, it created a google+ page and I already have one which now I cannot find a way to update. Same for facebook. I have a page, I even had it in the CSV file, but it didn't load it. Some help would be appreciated.
