How can I get my website to appear on https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?

When I search for my website I get this message -
Current status
No available data

Does Google automatically add a website over time or you can add it manually? I've added my website to Google WebMaster Tools but I don't see an option to submit the site to safe browsing? Any idea how to get this working?

I've looked at the guides here -
https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing/v4/get-started
but not sure if I've implemented it correctly its all a bit too technical!

Using second post example PHP found on this website I believe the output I get is correct -

I get the following output -
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2017 00:04:30 GMT
Server: ESF
Cache-Control: private
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Alt-Svc: quic=":443"; ma=2592000; v="41,39,38,37,35"
Accept-Ranges: none
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
{}

Thanks for your help

It is automatic. For the purposes of the Safe Browsing API, we return an empty response if the given site does not match any blacklists. So in that case, knowing the site to be safe or not knowing about the site at all have the same response.

The transparency report is a bit smarter and makes some determination between "no data" and "probably safe". So no-data means we just haven't scanned your site yet. If your site becomes popular, it will be scanned more frequently.
