COUNTER REGISTRY

The COUNTER Registry is where you can find information about usage data hosts – the technology groups which provide COUNTER reports – and the platforms or publisher websites that they support. 

Counter Registry

The Registry API

As well as the user interface, the Registry can be accessed programatically from registry.countermetrics.org/api/v1. There are four endpoints:

  • /platform, for information about publisher platforms that are COUNTER-compliant.
  • /usage-data-host, for information about COUNTER-compliant technology providers supporting the different platforms.
  • /counter-release, for information about which Release is available.
  • /notification, for alerts about migrations, outages and more.
