# Includes

The "Includes" parameter allows you to specify additional information to be included in the API response. For xG values, we offer two primary includes:`xGFixture` and the nested include `lineups.xGLineup`.

### Expected by Team

To retrieve the xG values by team for a fixture, we've introduced an include to use. You can use `xGFixture` on the Fixture entities, to retrieve the xG values for teams participating in a match. You can use this include as follows:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Request" %}

```
https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/football/fixtures/date/2024-03-03??include=xGFixture
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Response" %}

```
      "expected": [
        {
          "id": 27141258,
          "fixture_id": 18842545,
          "type_id": 5304,
          "participant_id": 9,
          "data": {

        {
