Why can't we access metrics in the API that are available in the mozbar?
-
For example, the Chrome/Firefox mozbar uses peid (Root Domain External Links) but the api doesn't allow this. I've done a little bit of reverse engeniering and it looks like the accessID for the mozbar (when logged in as a pro member) is "pro-xxxx". Does this mean that each pro account has its own accessid/secret key? If so, when will pro members have access to that?
I've created a tool that I use for deciding which expired domains to buy and it uses all of the free metrics - but I find myself having to do one extra step to get the peid (navigating to ose). It doesn't make much sense that the metric is available to me when I'm using the mozbar logged in as a pro member (which I pay for), but not apart of the API.

Hi Sean,
Please add your API feature requests to the API Feature request forum. We really do look at that when making product development decisions.
You make some great arguments here and I'd love to see them in our feature requests! http://seomoz.zendesk.com/categories/6328-seomoz-apis-and-extras

Unfortunately, the 'Site Intelligence API' (our non-free API) is an offering of ours that's separate from pro membership, and the metric you mention (peid) is not available in the free API. Here's a link to our pricing page for the Site Intelligence API: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/w/page/13991147/SEOmoz-API-Pricing.

Hi Sean - just FYI, I've assigned this to one of our engineers who works on Linkscape and the API, Chas. He should be around in the next 12-24 hours to provide a more detailed reply than I can give
BTW - love that your pic features a thumbs up... Kinda makes me want to give you an extra one.

I have an issue with hubspot's blog platform and duplicate content.
It is redirecting all https to http and I am unable to change it, resulting in a lot of duplicate content. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, did you find a solution? Or does anyone have any suggestions?

Can we discuss Moz's Forecast? It's been over 100 degrees for a month.
Hey everyone! I just wanted to start a discussion on Moz's Forecast. If you haven't noticed, it has been over 100 degrees for an entire month now, which I have personally never seen before... Why do you think this might be happening? Any ideas or theories? I'd love to hear them!

and
2. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/ It's a WordPress site and I cannot find the second page anywhere in the list of All Pages in the Admin (I want to add canonicalisation code) When I view the 2nd page and click Edit Page, it redirects to the 1st page. Any ideas where SEOMoz would be finding this 2nd page or how it might be being generated? (btw I didn't build this site) Thanks Simon0 -
Google UK rankings don't seem to be accurate.
Just a quick question - I am tracking the keyword 'chemistry teaching resources' as part of a campaign and our site comes up at number 4 on a google.co.uk search for this however in the rankings report section of our account, we are ranked at number 50 for this keyword in the 'google UK' column. Does anybody know why this would be different? It is also different for a number of other keywords in the campaign. Any help you could give would be much appreciated. Thanks
