Before choosing a paid plan, confirm

• 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: Hawk-Eye Innovations

Goal: build a feature on Hawk-Eye Innovations data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth.

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://www.hawkeyeinnovations.com
- Docs: UNKNOWN — find the developer docs first
- Sports: Multi-sport (40+), Football (soccer), Tennis, Baseball, Cricket
- Data: Team stats, Tracking data
- Protocols: UNKNOWN — check the docs; formats: UNKNOWN — check the docs
- Auth: UNKNOWN — check the docs
- Free plan: none listed
- Note: No self-serve API or pricing. Keep is marginal: data is delivered to rights holders and partners, not developers.

## Verify before writing code
- authentication method
- 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.
