Hi @muneera_salah! I’m not sure about TinCan, but for xAPI you’ll want to have a look at [event-tracking](https://github.com/edx/event-tracking) and [event-routing-backends](https://github.com/edx/event-routing-backends). The [overview](https://github.com/edx/event-routing-backends#overview) of the event-routing-backends README is a good place to start.

It mentions that

> work to support xAPI and Caliper event formats is in progress.

And it looks like a number of xAPI-related [PRs were merged recently](https://github.com/edx/event-routing-backends/pulls?q=is%3Apr+xapi+is%3Aclosed).

So while full support for xAPI (as laid out in the section on [xAPI Real-time Events](https://open-edx-proposals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oep-0026/xapi-realtime-events.html#xapi-realtime-events) from [OEP 0026](https://open-edx-proposals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oep-0026-arch-realtime-events.html)) doesn’t seem to be available _yet_, it may become available some time in the near future.
