Two main ways of getting your highlights in one or more XML files exist. The XML file can be downloaded via:
Datasets -> export predefined XML file(s)
Features* -> create analysis and export the selected events in XML file(s)
*Please find here how to get the most out of the XML export in our features.
Where do I find my files?
Within the Datacenter, you will find datasets per match with all the available files for this match. If the XML files are available for you, these can also be found here.
Find the Data sets under Data center in your Performance Center.
How does it work?

Note: All our XML files will consist of:
1. SciSports match timestamps for the start and end of each match half.
2. Instances of the included highlights with their correct offset, based on the video provided in our Data Center.
