LinqToMoz

Linq provider to MOZ API

The principle of how this library works is based on MOZ Documentation

Implemented metrics:

• URL Metrics
• Link Metrics

How can i use it?

To use this library simply add LINQTOMOZ and LINQ namespace to your class:

using System.Linq;
using LINQTOMOZ;

Next step is instantiating MOZService class. Constructor of this class takes 2 arguments:

• access id
• security key

MOZService service = new MOZService("your access key","your security key");

This class provides you two main services. Link and Url metrcis services:

var urlMetrics = service.QueryURLMetrics();

//or

var linkMetrics = service.QueryLinkMetrics();

These variables hold the type of QueryableMozData which implement the IQueryable interface, so don't forget to include System.Linq namespace

Example

URL Metrics:

string[] sites = { "yandex.ru", "google.com", "yahoo.com", "amazon.com", "microsoft.com"};

try
{
    MOZService service = new MOZService("your access key","your security key");
    var urlMetrics = service.QueryURLMetrics(
    var result = urlMetrics.Where((arg) => sites.Contains(arg.SearchingURL) && arg.SourceCols == URLMetricsCols.FREE)
        .Select(x => new { equityLinkNumber = x.MetricsResult.ueid, cononicalURL = x.MetricsResult.uu })
        .OrderByDescending(x => x.equityLinkNumber);    
    foreach (var webSite in result)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("For: " + webSite.cononicalURL + " was found: " + webSite.equityLinkNumber + " external         equity  links");

    }

}
catch (LINQTOMOZ.Exception e)
{
    Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}

//      For: google.com / was found: 2695897 external equity links
//      For: microsoft.com / was found: 478486 external equity links
//      For: yahoo.com / was found: 233997 external equity links
//      For: yandex.ru / was found: 146768 external equity links
//      For: amazon.com / was found: 141064 external equity links

Link Metrics:

MOZService service = new MOZService("your access key","your security key");
var linkMetrics = service.QueryLinkMetrics();

var result = linkMetrics.Where(x => x.SearchingURL == "www.quick.fr" && x.Scope == ScopeType.PageToDomain && x.Sort == Sort.DomainAuthority && x.SourceCols == URLMetricsCols.FREE && x.LinkCols == (LinkMetricsCols.Flags | LinkMetricsCols.AnchorText | LinkMetricsCols.NormalizedAnchorText | LinkMetricsCols.MozRankPassed))
            .Select(x => new
                {
                    sourceURL = x.MetricsResult.uu,
                    targetURL = x.MetricsResult.luuu,
                    domainAuthoritySource = x.MetricsResult.pda,
                    linkFlags = x.MetricsResult.lf,
                    anchorText = x.MetricsResult.lt,
                    normalisedAnchorText = x.MetricsResult.lnt
                }).Take(12);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
int i = 1;
foreach (var metrics in result)
{
    sb.AppendLine("URL number: " + i);
    sb.AppendLine("Source url : " + metrics.sourceURL);
    sb.AppendLine("Target url : " + metrics.targetURL);
    sb.AppendLine("domain authority % : " + metrics.domainAuthoritySource);
    sb.AppendLine("link flags : " + metrics.linkFlags);
    sb.AppendLine("anchor text : " + metrics.anchorText);
    sb.AppendLine("normalised anchor text : " + metrics.normalisedAnchorText);
    sb.AppendLine("================");
    i++;

Console.WriteLine(sb.ToString());

Useful information

Following classes may be useful for you:

Class	Type	Use case
URLMetricsContext	parsed object	Contains all metrics information. Each metric has description
URLMetricsCols	enum	The Cols parameter uses bit flags to specify which URL metrics Mozscape returns. All and FREE is really useful.
LinkMetricsCols	enum	LinkCols bit flags.
LinkFlags	enul	Bit flags referencing to 'fl' from LinkMetricsCols
