Double Your Fun with Double the SEOmoz API

I know, I promised a Linkscape update by last week.  And I missed it.  But there's an update today!  Do you forgive me?  No?  Not enough?  Well how about doubling the volume of data available in our free API?  You might have gotten a totally awesome email last week announcing that the free SEOmoz API is now serving up to 1,000 links.  This email was so awesome I just had to share it (nice work Scott!)

 
This is the same free API that's powering tons of internal reporting tools and plenty of tools you might have already seen.  This includes Carter Cole's SEO Site Tools toolbar which went volcanic last month.  And he's not even showing lists of links.  So by some math there's 1000 times more power available!
 
But seriously, there have been comparisons made between what we're doing and what you can do with Yahoo! Site Explorer.  The Yahoo! Site Explorer API offers up to 1,000 links.  And there's no reason we can't do the same.
 
What do you get with the free API?  You get a lot:
  • Up to 1,000 links to a page, subdomain or root domain (sorted by Page Authority of the linking page)
  • Anchor text for those 1,000
  • Aggregate anchor text counts across all links in our index
  • HTTP status code
  • nofollow indicators
  • Plenty of metrics for data junkies

We've got a community submissions page on our wiki, and we love to share neat apps.  So if you build something on our API, send it our way and we'll make sure the community hears about it.
