Quick question, my apologies if it's documented somewhere: can TBA provide results in XML format, or even better in CSV?

The TBA API is currently JSON only, sorry. We decided against XML because it really increases size of our responses, which matters when we pay for bandwidth (TBA used 30 gigabytes of bandwidth last Friday + Saturday - every byte adds up). The simpler we can keep the whole system, the easier it is to support and build on (which is important, since we maintain TBA on top of day jobs/college)
You can find the full api spec on this page:
http://www.thebluealliance.com/apidocs. As a note, we added in the defense/match stats to the API the other day - the same data you can find on the event pages (
pull request)!
If you have any other questions, you can PM me or
Eugene, file an issue on
GitHub, or post to our
mailing list.
EDIT: totally missed the CSV part the first time. We don't supply CSV data either (It's hard to apply structure with csv results). But, if all you're looking for is match results, I made an auto-updating Google Sheet you could use:
