What is MOZ Scraper?

MOZ Scraper is a bulk Moz Domain Authority checker. It reads the data behind Moz's free Domain Analysis tool and the Moz Top 500 list and returns it as structured JSON, CSV or Excel.

Moz's free tool lets one person check a few sites by hand before it hits a search limit. MOZ Scraper checks DA, PA and Spam Score for hundreds of domains in one run, with no Moz account and no API key. It's a lightweight Moz API alternative for link-building outreach lists, client prospecting, competitor benchmarks and domain due diligence. Add make.com and n8n.io, click Start, and download the Moz metrics a few seconds later.

What can MOZ Scraper do?

• 📊 Domain overview: Domain Authority, homepage Page Authority, Spam Score, linking root domains and ranking keywords for every domain.
• 🔗 Domain authority details: the top pages by Page Authority, the top linking domains by Domain Authority, and how many linking domains Moz discovered and lost each day over the last 60 days.
• 🏆 Moz Top 500: Moz's list of the 500 most popular websites with rank, Domain Authority and exact linking root domain counts.
• 📦 Bulk checks: paste as many domains or URLs as you like. Full URLs such as https://blog.apify.com/how-to-scrape-google-reviews/ work too; the host is used and www. is dropped.
• 🧾 Clean numbers: Moz shows counts like 397.1k. MOZ Scraper gives you the number (397100) and keeps Moz's original text next to it.

As an Apify Actor, MOZ Scraper also comes with scheduling for monthly DA tracking, a REST API, integrations with Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Slack and webhooks, and exports to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and HTML.

An overview row and a domain authority row (lists shortened):

[
  {

  },
  {
    "data_captured_at": "2026-10-07T13:09:08.137604",
    "type": "domain_authority",
    "domain": "openai.com",
    "url": "openai.com",
    "domain_authority": 92,
    "page_authority": 80,

      { "page_url": "chat.openai.com/", "page_authority": 81 },
      { "page_url": "openai.com/", "page_authority": 80 }
    ],
    "top_linking_domains": [
      { "domain": "linkedin.com", "domain_authority": 99 },
      { "domain": "apple.com", "domain_authority": 99 }
    ],
    "linking_domains_discovered_lost_history": [
      { "date": "2026-08-04T00:00:00", "discovered": 137, "lost": -51 },

  }
]

A Moz Top 500 row (list shortened):

{
  "type": "top_500_websites",
  "websites_count": 500,
  "websites": [
    { "rank": 1, "domain": "www.blogger.com", "linking_root_domains": 31708660, "domain_authority": 100 },
    { "rank": 2, "domain": "www.google.com", "linking_root_domains": 17326580, "domain_authority": 100 }
  ]
}

Lost linking domains are negative numbers, as Moz charts them.

How much does it cost to check Moz Domain Authority?

MOZ Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay for each result row saved to the dataset. Compute and proxy costs are included in the price.

Event	Free plan	Bronze	Silver	Gold
result (one search type for one domain)	$6.99 / 1,000	$6.49 / 1,000	$5.99 / 1,000	$5.49 / 1,000

Checking DA, PA and Spam Score for 100 domains is 100 rows, about $0.70 on the Free plan. With domain authority details on as well, it's 200 rows, about $1.40. The Moz Top 500 list counts as one row. Lookups that fail are saved with an error field and are not charged. You can set a maximum cost per run in the run options, and the actor stops when it's reached.

How does MOZ Scraper work?

1. Reads your domains and URLs, takes the host from each and drops www..
2. Loads Moz's public Domain Analysis page once per domain and reuses it for both search types.
3. Retries automatically when Moz's anonymous search limit or bot protection gets in the way.
4. Turns the page into clean fields (numbers instead of 397.1k, dates on the 60-day chart) and saves one row per search type.

FAQ

Do I need a Moz account or Moz API key? No. MOZ Scraper uses Moz's free Domain Analysis tool and the public Top 500 page, which work without logging in.

How is this different from the Moz API? The Moz API needs a Moz account and a token, and its paid plans include keyword metrics and historical data. MOZ Scraper returns what Moz's free Domain Analysis shows: DA, homepage PA, Spam Score, linking root domains, ranking keywords, top 7 pages, top 7 linking domains and the 60-day new and lost links chart. It doesn't return keyword volume or difficulty, MozRank, total backlinks or long-term DA history.

Why are linking root domains rounded? Moz's free tool shows them rounded (for example 397.1k), so the numbers are only as precise as Moz displays. The original text is kept in linking_root_domains_display. The Top 500 list has exact counts.

What happens with subdomains? The subdomain is sent to Moz as you entered it. Domain Authority is a root-domain metric, so blog.apify.com and apify.com show the same DA. page_authority is null when Moz doesn't list the subdomain's own homepage among the top pages.

Why is spam_score empty for some sites? Moz shows -- when it has no Spam Score for a domain, often for small or new sites. MOZ Scraper returns null in that case.

How fresh is the data? It's what Moz shows at the moment of the run. data_captured_at marks when each row was saved. Run it on a schedule to track DA changes month by month.

How do I use the MOZ Scraper API in Python?

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("parsebird/moz-scraper").call(run_input={
    "urls": ["make.com", "n8n.io", "zapier.com"],
    "include_authority": True,
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["type"], item.get("domain"), item.get("domain_authority"), item.get("spam_score"))

How do I use it in JavaScript?

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('parsebird/moz-scraper').call({
    urls: ['make.com', 'n8n.io'],
    include_overview: true,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Is it legal to scrape Moz?

MOZ Scraper only collects SEO metrics that Moz shows publicly in its free Domain Analysis tool and Top 500 list, without logging in. It doesn't collect personal data. You are responsible for how you use the data, including following Moz's terms and the laws in your jurisdiction. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Read more in Apify's post on whether web scraping is legal.
