Moz is a Seattle-based search-marketing software company, founded in 2004 as SEOmoz and part of Ziff Davis since 2021, whose products include Moz Pro, Moz Local, STAT and Moz Data. Its developer surface is the Moz API, a JSON-RPC 2.0 API served from a single universal endpoint at https://api.moz.com/jsonrpc, exposing 62 public methods across five namespaces: site metrics (Domain Authority, Page Authority, Brand Authority, Spam Score), the Moz Link Index (links, linking root domains, anchor text, link intersect, link status, final redirect), keyword metrics (volume, difficulty, opportunity, priority, search intent, related keywords), ranking and top-page data, and Moz Local location, group, account, listing-network and Google Business Profile insight management. Requests are authenticated with a Moz API token in an x-moz-token header, billed against a row-based monthly quota, and Moz additionally runs two beta remote MCP servers - Moz Data and Moz Local - at https://api.moz.com/mcp/v1/data and https://api.moz.com/mcp/v1/local, protected by OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata.
Moz publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include SEO, Search, Marketing, Analytics, and Keywords.
Moz’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, support, engineering blog, authentication, and 26 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/moz: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
