Preview brief
# Integration brief: Broadage Goal: build a feature on Broadage data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth. ## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them) - Website: https://www.broadage.com - Docs: UNKNOWN — find the developer docs first - Sports: Football (soccer), Basketball, American football, Baseball, Ice hockey, Volleyball, Handball - Data: Fixtures, Lineups, Odds, Live scores, Standings, Team stats, Widgets - Protocols: REST; formats: json, xml - Auth: api_key - Free plan: API free trial, 10 requests per second - Note: Paid packages are quoted by email (50 requests/sec stated for paid). Widgets have a separate 15-day trial. Signup page shows 864,000 requests/day cap for the trial. Docs URL not found. Output formats (xml/json) inferred from page title 'API XML'. ## Verify before writing code - live update frequency - 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.
