Preview brief
# Integration brief: Horse Truth

Goal: build a feature on Horse Truth data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth.

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://horsetruth.com.au
- Docs: https://horsetruth.com.au/developers/machine
- Sports: Horse racing
- Data: Predictions, Team stats
- Protocols: REST; formats: json
- Auth: none
- Free plan: Sandbox
- Cheapest paid plan: $0.02 /usage
- Note: Also sells a consumer Full Access plan at A$39/month and A$19 per-horse reports (not modeled). Small solo operation; Australian racing only.

## 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.
