In Q1 2017, Icecat served 3.5 billion data-sheet, versus 1.7 billion registered in 2016. This is an impressive annual increase of 143%. In Q1 2017, especially the Icecat XML data and Icecat LIVE (JS/JSON) interfaces became way more popular compared with the same period one year earlier. Furthermore, the more traditional download methods, such as portal use (www), CSV/Excel downloads, and URL calls to the Icecat data-sheets, relatively declined in the download mix.
Although most downloads (89%) are by XML users, they represent just 36% of the active Icecat users. The portal (www) users represent 57% of the active users but logically generate only 10% of the data-sheet downloads as this usage type is manual by nature. The fastest-growing category of Live JS/JSON users represents over 4% of the current active Icecat users.
