Data Downloads and Programmatic Access
Open DataAll datasets published on World TLD Monitor are freely available as structured, machine-readable CSV and JSON exports. Researchers, developers, and analysts can download static research tables or integrate with the REST API.

Registrar HHI Concentration
CSVHerfindahl-Hirschman Index scores, top-1 and top-3 registrar market shares, and retail channel risk ratings per TLD.
Backend RSP Systemic Risk
CSVRegistry Service Provider managed domain totals, global market share, BGP ASNs, Anycast PoPs, and resilience grades.
Dot-Brand Viability & TCO
CSVFortune 500 dot-brand deployment status, live domain counts, estimated annual TCO, and effective cost per deployed domain.

Domain Rescue Rate & RGP Index
CSVMonthly Redemption Grace Period (RGP) restores versus deletions, rescue rates, wholesale RGP fees, and penalty revenues.
Inter-Registrar Transfer Velocity
CSVMonthly transfers-in, transfers-out, net migration flows, and annualized secondary market liquidity percentages per TLD.
36-Month Registrar Trajectories
CSVLongitudinal 2023-to-2026 domain volume shifts, net migration deltas, and M&A consolidation across major accredited registrars.
Wholesale Registry Revenue Run-Rates
CSVEstimated annual gross wholesale revenue, ICANN transaction fee remittances, net registry yield, and operating margin models.
DNS Geopolitical Jurisdiction Map
CSVSovereign legal jurisdiction mapping of registry operators, managed domain share, and in rem court seizure exposure.
TLD Vintage Cohort Survival
CSV40-year root zone delegation waves (1985 to 2026), survival rates, termination counts, and median domain volume per wave.
Growth Velocity vs. Volatility
CSV36-month positive net-add consistency, month-over-month standard deviation, and organic vs. promotional growth classification.
Static JSON Datasets
Our static build exports structured JSON bundles directly into the web root on every pipeline synchronization:
- Master Index (`index.json`): Summary catalog of all tracked extensions, operators, and current active domains.
- Rankings Export (`rankings.json`): Top 20 rankings across size, growth rate, contraction, and age.
- Wholesale Prices (`prices.json`): Curated wholesale price history and contractual price-cap events with source URLs.
- Per-TLD Dossiers (
tlds/[tld].json): 36-month monthly ledgers, registrar shares, and contract provisions.
Optional Cloudflare Worker REST API
For programmatic applications, an optional edge Worker API provides low-latency REST endpoints:
- GET /v1/tld/:tld: Full registry metadata, operator details, and latest metrics.
- GET /v1/tld/:tld/monthly: Full historical monthly activity array.
- GET /v1/rankings/:category: Leaderboards for largest, fastest-growing, and newest.
The API is gated behind the ENABLE_API configuration flag and backed by Cloudflare D1.
Open Data Downloads FAQ
Audited FAQ ReferenceQ1. What open datasets are available for download?
World TLD Monitor provides open CSV and JSON datasets covering TLD churn and retention cohorts, wholesale price elasticity models, registrar HHI concentration, backend RSP systemic risk, dot-brand TCO benchmarks, contract expirations, and root DNSSEC cryptography.
Q2. How frequently are the downloadable datasets refreshed?
Datasets are synchronized daily at 04:45 AM Pacific Time during automated pipeline builds, incorporating the latest ICANN monthly reporting filings, root zone updates, and wholesale price schedules.
Q3. Are there usage restrictions or attribution requirements?
All datasets are published under open research terms. You are free to cite, redistribute, and analyze the data with credit and a link to World TLD Monitor as the primary compilation source.
Q4. Can I access the data programmatically via a REST API?
Yes. In addition to static CSV and JSON downloads, an optional Cloudflare Worker REST API provides programmatic JSON endpoints for per-TLD dossiers, monthly historical ledgers, and live rankings.
