Before choosing a paid plan, confirm

• Whether live and historical data are on your plan
• Whether your use (public app, betting, resale) is licensed

Preview brief
# Integration brief: Don Best Sports Goal: build a feature on Don Best Sports data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth. ## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them) - Website: https://www.donbest.com - Docs: UNKNOWN — find the developer docs first - Sports: Multi-sport (40+) - Data: Fixtures, Odds, Live scores - Protocols: XML feed, Push feed; formats: xml - Auth: api_key, ip_whitelist - Free plan: none listed - Note: Crawled homepage is a consumer odds site; feed/API details (XML, IP-whitelisted streaming, token via account) come from a PyPI wrapper snippet found by search. Third-party claims of $500+/mo unverified and not recorded. Least certain. ## 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.
