# Getting started with the Abusix Global Reporting Service

> If you have abuse to report and can provide the minimum required data for a given report type; please send your data to your API endpoint.

We will package your report in [XARF](https://abusix.com/xarf/) format and email it to the abuse contact for the network hosting the abuse on your behalf.

You will need to

1. Ensure you can generate the minimum data required for a given abuse type ([XARF](https://abusix.com/xarf/) Schema) [https://github.com/xarf/xarf-spec/tree/main/schemas/v4](https://github.com/xarf/xarf-spec/tree/main/schemas/v4)
2. Create a Data Channel API endpoint here [https://app.abusix.com](https://app.abusix.com/)
3. Use our example code to post to our API here [https://github.com/abusix/global-reporting](https://github.com/abusix/global-reporting)

Abusix will

1. Initially, review your data after submission and then approve your API Key.
2. After approval, we will send out reports on your behalf by:
   1. Packaging your report data in an [XARF](https://abusix.com/xarf/) email.
   2. Automatically determining the best working abuse address of the network operator or [postmaster](https://abusix.com/glossary/postmaster/) associated with the [IP](https://abusix.com/glossary/internet-protocol-address/) address and your report type.
   3. Email your report to the network that originated the abuse, for you.
