New Versions​

Speed of Ball Movement Metrics - testing underway​
As of this update, four Speed of Ball Movement metrics are now being generated for the remaining AFL 2026 matches. These matches are being reviewed to ensure these new metrics are accurate and, pending any changes, will be followed up with generating Speed of Ball Movement for all AFL 2024, 2025 & 206 seasons. These metrics are available at both Player- and Squad-level.
These metrics are available to AFL clubs as part of the 'Elite' AFL tier and presently only generated for AFL matches.

Match Selected Teams Endpoint 403 Response​
Update /v1/matches/{matchId}/selectedteams response behavior to return a 403 Forbidden status code when no team data or roster information is available for the specified match. This behaviour matches the response code returned by other match endpoints that are called for a match that doesn't have data yet.
