Documentation

Basic Usage

Require the module and pass your options

  var moz = require('node-moz')({
    accessId: '<YOUR ACCESSID>',
    secret: '<YOUR SECRET>',
    expires: 300  // Optional, default set to 300
  });

Available options:

accessId {string} : Mozscape access id
secret {string} : Mozscape secret
url {string} [optional] : Api url, Default: http://apiv2.ahrefs.com/,
expires {boolean} [optional] : Expires delay, Default: 300

Build and run a query

  var query = moz.newQuery('url-metrics')
    .target('http://moz.com')
    .cols(['canonical_url', 'external_links', 'root_domains_linking', 'moz_rank_url'])
    .sort('page_authority')
    .limit(10)
 
  moz.send(query, function(err, result){
 
    var canonical_url         = result.uu;
    var external_links        = result.ued;
    var root_domains_linking  = result.uipl;
    var moz_rank_url          = result.umrp;
 
  });

Result contains the response of the mozscape API. Check the documentation of each endpoint to get the key corresponding to the parameter you have passed.

Batch mode

To use the batch mode, simply pass an array to the targets method. Batch mode request use POST method.

Note: Batch mode is currently working only on the url-metrics endpoint

  var query = moz.newQuery('url-metrics')
    .target(['http://moz.com', 'http://optimiz.me'])
    .cols(['canonical_url', 'external_links', 'root_domains_linking', 'moz_rank_url'])
    .sort('page_authority')
    .limit(10)
 
  moz.send(query, function(err, result){
 
  });

Metadata

Metadata request are done in a similar fashion:

 
  moz.metadata('last_update', function(err, last_update){
 
  });
 
  // Which is the short for:
 
  var query = moz.newQuery('metadata')
    .target('last_update');
 
  moz.send(query, function(err, result){
 
  });

Flags

Use the bitsToFlags method to translate a bitflags sum to an array of flags:

  var query = moz.newQuery('links')
    .target('http://moz.com'])
    .linkCols(['Flags'])
    .sort('page_authority')
    .limit(10)
 
  moz.send(query, function(err, result){
    // result.if return the bitflags sum for the flag linkCols parameters
    var flags = moz.bitsToFlags(result.if);
    // flags: ['no_follow', 'img', '301_redirect']
  });

Run tests

You must specify your token to run the test suite:

  ACCESSID="<ACCESSID>" SECRET="<SECRET>" npm test

You can also run the tests agains your own target if needed (default is moz.com):

  TARGET=<YOUR TARGET> ACCESSID="<ACCESSID>" SECRET="<SECRET>" npm test

Generate API documentation

  npm run-script doc
