Not ideal for

Commercial products needing clear licensing and published API prices; site terms require a licence for commercial use and API plan prices were not retrievable.

Limitations to check

  • − API pricing lives on RapidAPI and is not on the saved pages
  • − Site prices are for consumer prediction subscriptions, not the API
  • − Commercial use needs a licence and attribution
  • − API is secondary to the prediction product

Commercial decision

Pricing & plan limits

No public price list. Check the provider site.

Site pricing ($29.99 per sport, $79.99 all sports per month) is for consumer prediction subscriptions, not the API, so no plans recorded. API plan prices live on the RapidAPI listing and were not retrievable. Uncertain: API is secondary to the tipster-style product.

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: Matchstat

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

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://matchstat.com
- Docs: UNKNOWN — find the developer docs first
- Sports: Tennis, Football (soccer), Basketball, Baseball, Ice hockey, American football, Cricket, Table tennis
- Data: Fixtures, Predictions, Live scores, Standings, Team stats
- Protocols: REST; formats: json
- Auth: api_key
- Free plan: none listed
- Note: Site pricing ($29.99 per sport, $79.99 all sports per month) is for consumer prediction subscriptions, not the API, so no plans recorded. API plan prices live on the RapidAPI listing and were not retrievable. Uncertain: API is secondary to the tipster-style product.

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