*	getDA( $urlToDA )
----------------------->

Description:
	- Function prepared to return the Domain Authority (DA) as a rounded integer that measures the MOZ platform.

Parameters:
	- $urlToDA:		String type URL --> xxx.com, www.xxx.com, etc.

Return:
	- A rounded integer corresponding to the DA of that URL according to MOZ.

To consider:
  - Due to the limitations of the free account, a delay of 11 seconds between call and call must be put.
  - In addition to the DA, $content array, returns other data that can be observed with a print_r($ content); at line 65.

function getDA( $urlToDA ){
	// Get your access id and secret key here: https://moz.com/products/api/keys
	$accessID = "your-MOZ-accessID";
	$secretKey = "your-MOZ-secretKey";
	// Set your expires times for several minutes into the future.
	// An expires time excessively far in the future will not be honored by the Mozscape API.
	$expires = time() + 300;
	// Put each parameter on a new line.
	$stringToSign = $accessID."\n".$expires;
	// Get the "raw" or binary output of the hmac hash.
	$binarySignature = hash_hmac('sha1', $stringToSign, $secretKey, true);
	// Base64-encode it and then url-encode that.
	$urlSafeSignature = urlencode(base64_encode($binarySignature));
	// Specify the URL that you want link metrics for.
	$objectURL = $urlToDA;
	// Add up all the bit flags you want returned.
	// Learn more here: https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-api/mozscape/api-reference/url-metrics
	$cols = "103079215108";
	// Put it all together and you get your request URL.
	// This example uses the Mozscape URL Metrics API.
	$requestUrl = "http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/url-metrics/".urlencode($objectURL)."?Cols=".$cols."&AccessID=".$accessID."&Expires=".$expires."&Signature=".$urlSafeSignature;
	// Use Curl to send off your request.
	$options = array(
		CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true
		);
	$ch = curl_init($requestUrl);
	curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
	$content = curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close($ch);
  
	//print_r($content);	// Uncommnet to check full results

	$array1 = explode(',', $content);
	$array2 = explode(":", $array1[0]);

	sleep(11);	// We waited 11 seconds (delay required for the Moz API with free account)

	return (int)round($array2[1]);		// We return the DA as rounded INT
}

Is this API service have a limit?

This function its a quite old, check it first if works properly. The limit is for time between function calls if you insert on loop.

Thanks. for API count have a limit ?

I dont know mate. Moz has made several changes on his API last months, you should test it first and go back here to explain it to all us. This would be awesome :)
