Appendix B: required licence agreements for usage reporting

Usage reporting is subject to discussion with the applicant based on their individual use case(s), but we are looking for the following where possible.

You will provide details of the usage of the information, sorted by anonymous unique end user, and by website, service or system, in a monthly report including:

  • The number of unique users accessing the information and your services by system, channel and territory (for example, website, desktop application, mobile service etc.) per calendar month.

  • Usage of the information: the number of times the information is accessed by end users (reporting monthly), where 'accessed' means the information is displayed and/or transmitted to an end user.

    • The information should be identified specifically at the level of access using the specific API access path where possible (for example, Home > Services > Guidance > Smokeless tobacco cessation: South Asian communities > 2 Public health need and practice).

  • Information detailing the refreshing of cached information:

    • immediately at the request of NICE

    • for page views by feed: no less than once every 24 hours.

  • As part of the monthly report, you will make it clear that caching has taken place within the last reporting period and that new content has been installed on your platform and/or devices or has updated existing content.

Monthly reports should be submitted to the inbox syndication@nice.org.uk in a format allowing data to be extracted and manipulated (for example, Excel or CSV) by the tenth working day of the month after the reporting period.
