25/01/12 Slow results or Throttling error messages. SEOmoz recent cahnge to the ammount and spped of requests seems to have affected some but not all of the KCC installations. I have been unable to identify why only some are effected. However, I am rewriting the API call section of KCC to improve speed and fit beter with their new system. I hope to have this completed in the next 48 hours.***RESOLVED
15/12/11 Error- Sorry I am unable To Asess This Keyword. SEOmoz has changed the API. We are working on an update. This does not appaers to be a KCC issue. The problem seems to be only some SEOmoz accounts that are affected. These accounts no longer getting authorized when the API calls are made to SEOmoz. I have logged a call with SEOmoz and am awaiting information from them. 15/12/11 14:00 GMT ***RESOLVED
12/09/11 Cannot find FREE API SIGN-UP. SEOmoz has changed the layout of their sign-up page. You will now see a large advert for their paid SEO tools. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THAT OR THE FREE TRIAL. You will see a small link under the "start your free trial" button (or register for the SEOmoz community). Use that link to sign-up.
Upgrade to the latest version of KCC and it will now show two links on the API page.
1. Sign-up - (goes direct to sign-up)
2 Get Api - (get API -scroll down!)
***RESOLVED
If you have any Proxy errors then initalize your proxy configuration. Just click the proxy config button on the Proxy page. Do not put anything in the form. It will configure NO PROXIES.
