- Defining the target keywords and search engines.
- Submitting API requests to Moz's servers.
- Receiving and interpreting the returned data.
- Integrating the data into your SEO workflow.
Technical Aspects of the API
The API operates on a RESTful architecture, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of programming languages and frameworks. It supports various authentication methods, including API keys and OAuth tokens, to ensure secure access to data.
