Preview brief
# Integration brief: FIVB VIS Web Service

Goal: build a feature on FIVB VIS Web Service data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth.

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://www.fivb.org/VisSDK/VisWebService/Introduction.html
- Docs: https://www.fivb.org/VisSDK/VisWebService/Introduction.html
- Sports: Volleyball
- Data: Fixtures, Player stats, Results, Standings, Team stats
- Protocols: UNKNOWN — check the docs; formats: json, xml
- Auth: none
- Free plan: Public data
- Note: Protocol details (HTTP verb, transport) not captured; protocols left empty. Registered-user access method not described.

## 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.
