Scrapebox Backlink Checker 2 - All 401 Errors - clarkbl - 06-24-2014
I started using Scrapebox Checker 2 today. I'm getting "Error 401" for every site. I'm running 20 Accounts on 20 private proxies with usernames and passwords. I also tried running it on just one account without an assigned proxy. Neither attempts worked. I tried to set it up exactly according to the video tutorials on youtube by loopline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBtfOkZWyVA. It seems there has been an update since then now that there is a "Save Urls with backlinks" field that didn't previously exist. I did build all the API accounts using my normal IP address but was only asked to fill captcha for it once so I doubt they were flagged.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Sync up your pc time. The api requires an auth to be set when its sent in and that auth has to have a timestamp of when it expires. If your pc time is out of sync with what the real world time is for the timezone you have set, then the auth will be set wrong and when MOZ gets the request the auth will already be expired so it will return a 401 error.
