v1.63 - 13th November 2025
Match Transactions Endpoint - Timestamps​
This update adds a timestamp to each transaction that returns when that transaction actually occurred, as opposed to when the transaction was recorded by Champion Data capture operators. These timestamps are derived from capturing the time from match vision and can be used to align transactions to the vision much more accurately than using period seconds.
Some transactions are not applicable to receive a vision-captured timestamp. This endpoint still returns a UTC time for them, but it is based off its period seconds. Such transactions have a 'capturedTimestamp' attribute value of FALSE.
Timestamps are returned in the UTC time zone, not the local time zone where the match was played.
Match Summary Ruck Contests Endpoint​
This update adds a new match endpoint (/matches/matchId/summary/ruckcontests) that returns a summary of all the ruck contests that occurred in the match. This pairs up ruck players and returns the number of contests they had, along with the following stats for each ruck:
- Hitouts and Hitouts to Advantage
- First Possessions
- Hitouts Sharked
- Clearances
- Goals and Behinds scored at the end of the chain starting with the stoppage clearance
This endpoint can be filtered by stoppage type, returning just Centre Bounce, Ball Up or Throw In ruck contests. Add one or more of the following parameters:
- ballUp
- centreBounce
- throwIn
This is the first of a series of match 'summary' endpoints that return information that is already available from other match endpoints but presented in a convenient and easy to read format. They are ideal for direct reporting on a specific aspect of a match.
Match Stoppages Endpoint - Score from Clearance​
This update adds to each stoppage from the stoppages endpoint if the team scored from the stoppage clearance, if it was a goal or a behind, and the number of points accordingly.
