Preview brief
# Integration brief: Entity Sport
Goal: build a feature on Entity Sport data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth.
## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://www.entitysport.com
- Docs: https://www.entitysport.com/widget-documentation/
- Sports: Cricket, Football (soccer), Basketball, Baseball, American football, Ice hockey, Tennis
- Data: Fantasy, Fixtures, Odds, Play-by-play, Player stats, Results, Live scores, Team stats
- Protocols: REST, WebSocket; formats: json
- Auth: api_key
- Free plan: none listed
- Cheapest paid plan: $150/mo
- Note: Monthly list prices shown; annual = 10x monthly ('2 months free'). Many more season/league plans omitted (Kabaddi, KBO/NPB, CFL/UFL, WTA, Commentary, Preseason).

## Verify before writing code
- 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.Data quality signals
