Mainly a pick-prediction site, but exposes a documented public API (also read-only MCP at /api/mcp). Underlying data from nflverse CC BY 4.0; asks for credit to nopunt.com. Borderline between tipster and data provider; kept because of documented open API.
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: NoPunt Goal: build a feature on NoPunt data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth. ## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them) - Website: https://www.nopunt.com/api/picks.json - Docs: https://www.nopunt.com/docs - Sports: American football - Data: Player stats, Predictions, Standings, Team stats - Protocols: REST; formats: json - Auth: none - Free plan: Free, 60 requests per minute - Note: Mainly a pick-prediction site, but exposes a documented public API (also read-only MCP at /api/mcp). Underlying data from nflverse CC BY 4.0; asks for credit to nopunt.com. Borderline between tipster and data provider; kept because of documented open API. ## Verify before writing code - 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.
