Preview brief
# Integration brief: BETDAQ

Goal: build a feature on BETDAQ data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth.

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://www.betdaq.com
- Docs: https://betdaq.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360020067139-API-access
- Sports: Multi-sport (40+)
- Data: Trading & risk, Odds
- Protocols: UNKNOWN — check the docs; formats: UNKNOWN — check the docs
- Auth: api_key
- Free plan: none listed
- Cheapest paid plan: £250 one-time
- Note: Site blocked crawler; from search snippets. Protocol unspecified (described only as webservice methods). Fee may be outdated; auth is username/password, listed as api_key approximation.

## Verify before writing code
- live update frequency
- whether commercial use is allowed on the plan you pick
- exact endpoint paths, parameters and response fields (read the official docs, do not guess)

## Implementation rules
- Keep the API key on the server (environment variable, backend route or edge function); never ship it to the browser.
- Cache responses and respect rate limits; count how many requests each screen triggers.
- Handle errors explicitly: invalid key, quota exceeded (429), missing fields, empty fixtures, timeouts.
- Start with one demo request and log the raw response before building UI on assumed field names.
