# How to Report Data ### What Is Reporting? Granting live, decentralized access to information is the principal purpose of Fetch Oracle. This is made possible thanks to a global network of users known as reporters — who submit information to the network.\ \ Virtually *anyone* from anywhere in the world can easily learn how to be a Fetch Oracle data reporter and begin earning yield by submitting data through Fetch Oracle. As a reporter, you’ll earn yield in multiple ways: * You’ll earn **time-based rewards** for using the system. * You can also earn [**tips**](https://docs.fetchoracle.com/getting-data/tipping) from data seekers, in exchange for providing fast and accurate live information. * In the event that someone files a dispute against you that the community decides was incorrect, you’ll also be **awarded their dispute fee**. There are two ways that you can report information: * **Automatically**, by using a command line tool called Telliot — which you can learn more about by visiting the next section: [Automatic Reporting With Telliot](https://docs.fetchoracle.com/reporting-data/requirements). * You also have the option to report **manually**, which you easily can do by entering relevant information into the [Fetch Dashboard](https://testnet.fetchoracle.com/#/submit-value/spotPrice). {% hint style="success" %} Want to learn **how to report manually** through the Fetch Oracle Dapp?
