Preview brief
# Integration brief: Horse Racing API (ortegalex)

Goal: build a feature on Horse Racing API (ortegalex) data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth.

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://rapidapi.com/ortegalex/api/horse-racing
- Docs: https://rapidapi.com/ortegalex/api/horse-racing
- Sports: Horse racing
- Data: Fixtures, Odds, Results, Team stats
- Protocols: REST; formats: json
- Auth: api_key
- Free plan: none listed
- Note: RapidAPI pages did not render in the crawl; plan prices and limits not found. Freemium tag is from the sibling USA listing and catalog notes.

## 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.
