V2 Final Redirect (Legacy)
Looking for documentation for the current iteration of the Moz API? Access it here!
What's Covered?
In this guide you’ll learn more about making API calls to the Final Redirect endpoint for the Moz API V2.
This documentation specifies information for Moz API V2. V1 of the Moz API does not include a Final Redirect endpoint.
What is this endpoint for?
Use this endpoint to see the final redirect target of a page after following known redirects in the index. For example, if we request the final redirect for seooutdoorsrank.com/blog, the API will return outdoorsrank.com/blog as the final redirect target. This data can be helpful for tasks like technical audits. If you have migrated your domain or a set of pages and need to check that the redirects were implemented correctly, this endpoint can help with that.
