Links API and 'uipl'

[Ben]

I was changing my Python Linkscape querying script to match the output
format of the OSE when I found I was unable to get the 'uipl' field
(root domains linking) from the Links API. I have since confirmed
that my account is registered as paid. Calling the Links API with
1024 as a value in TargetCols or SourceCols or Cols does not seem to
return this data.

Is this the nature of the Links API? If so, what would be the best
way to match output to OSE (i.e. would there a better way than calling
url-metrics 100k times)? If not, can I get an example of a properly
formed Links API request that would return 'uipl'?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

You should be able to get the 'uipl' and 'luuipl' values from the
'links' API by specifying SourceCols=1024, and the 'luuipl' by
specifying TargetCols=1024

Can you check the output of this URL, and see if it contains the
'uipl' and 'luuipl' values?

http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/seomoz.org?Sort=page_authority&Scope=page_to_domain&SourceCols=1024&TargetCols=1024&Limit=1

I'm getting: [{"lrid":33748283184,"lsrc":13051354579,"ltgt":35290517339,"luuipl":986,"uipl":11303}]

It seems unlikely that your specific API key would block these values,
but if you email me your API Access Id or your associated email
address I can double check.

The output from that query:
