Commercial decision

Pricing & plan limits

No public price list. Check the provider site.

Crawled pages are only the consumer game shell (no docs). Verdict from catalog note (free keyless undocumented endpoints). Terms may restrict use; borderline reject. Least certain.

Before choosing a paid plan, confirm

• What counts as one request (per call, per market, per region?)

• What happens when you exceed the quota: blocked or billed

• Whether live and historical data are on your plan

• Whether your use (public app, betting, resale) is licensed

Preview brief
# Integration brief: Fantasy Premier League API

Goal: build a feature on Fantasy Premier League API data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth.

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://fantasy.premierleague.com
- Docs: UNKNOWN — find the developer docs first
- Sports: Football (soccer)
- Data: Fantasy, Fixtures, Player stats, Team stats
- Protocols: REST; formats: json
- Auth: none
- Free plan: none listed
- Note: Crawled pages are only the consumer game shell (no docs). Verdict from catalog note (free keyless undocumented endpoints). Terms may restrict use; borderline reject. Least certain.

## Verify before writing code
- pricing and request limits
- 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.
