This guide will walk you through how to authenticate or reauthenticate Moz with Supermetrics for Google Sheets and Data Studio.
Before you begin
Moz allows you to collect publicly available search engine data. To fetch more than 200 rows of data with it, you’ll need to use your own API credentials.
Query types
- URL metrics returns metrics for up to 50 URLs.
- Link metrics returns information about links between a target URL and other pages and domains.
