V1 Index Metadata

Archive of V1 Endpoints: Metadata

Find index statistics and release dates with Metadata. Index Metadata via API is only available with a paid API subscription.

This guide outlines the endpoints for now archived V1 Moz Links API endpoints. The new Moz Links API endpoints are available here.

Syntax

Metadata uses a different call structure than other Moz API calls: instead of specifying a target URL to analyze, metadata sends a single command with no parameters.

The default return format for last_update and next_update is an unencoded integer (the date in Unix Epoch format). Append .json to last_update and next_update to have the API return the results in JSON-encoded format.

For example, the following call returns an unencoded integer:

http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/metadata/last_update

This call returns JSON-encoded results:

http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/metadata/last_update.json
