Preview brief
# Integration brief: FACEIT Data API

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

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://www.faceit.com
- Docs: https://docs.faceit.com/docs/data-api/data/
- Sports: Esports
- Data: Fixtures, Player stats, Results, Team stats
- Protocols: REST; formats: json
- Auth: api_key
- Free plan: API key
- Note: Crawl of faceit.com failed; docs fetched only first 100k chars. Free key and numeric rate limits not confirmed (429 returned when throttled).

## 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.
