Before you can access the Open Data platform, you must create an ICANN Account <https://newsalerts.icann.org/F28RP006O0C0g2i2000EdN0>. Once you have an account, you will be able to use the Open Data platform API. Why Are We Making This Change? A goal of the Open Data platform is to increase the transparency and accessibility of data managed by ICANN org. The platform's creation is the result of collaborative work between the community and the org. ICANN org launched <https://newsalerts.icann.org/m000NP20002d2Pg8Ri70CE0> the Open Data platform in March 2020 with a series of datasets. Registered users can search, browse, view, download, and analyze the data, according to the platform's terms and conditions and the license(s) applied to each dataset. Registration also allows users to save customized analysis, receive notifications when selected datasets are updated, generate API keys, and view API quota usage. Background on Registry Reports Registry operators provide a set of monthly reports per generic top-level domain name (gTLD) to ICANN org. The monthly reports include the *Per-Registrar Transactions Report* and *Registry Functions Activity Report*. ICANN org publishes these reports, on a monthly basis, three months after the end of the month to which the reports provided by the registry operators relate. This is done to preserve the confidentiality of the reported information during that period as required by the registry agreement. Monthly reports consist of data that reflects the state of the registry at the end of the month. For additional information about the data contained in these reports, please see Specification 3 of the Base gTLD Registry Agreement found on the Registry Agreement landing page <https://newsalerts.icann.org/G2R0Ei208Q08C0dP0000gN2>. For more information about the Open Data API, please visit ICANN's Open Data platform <https://newsalerts.icann.org/F28RP003L0C0g2i2000EdN0> or the Open Data Soft Help page <https://newsalerts.icann.org/MN0E0208Ci02d00RP0gR092>.
