The “Action” field
The key to understanding the differences between single incidents (match events) is the “action” field, which provides clear information about the type of action taken in relation to a specific match incident.
The "action" field can take on 3 values:
insert - new incident generated (used) by the Scout
update - incident was somehow updated by the Scout
delete - incident was deleted by the Scout
The table below will provide a better understanding of the differences between the 3 "actions" within an "incident" type message.
