Preview brief
# Integration brief: Odds-API.io

Goal: build a feature on Odds-API.io data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth.

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://odds-api.io
- Docs: https://docs.odds-api.io
- Sports: Multi-sport (40+), Football (soccer), Basketball, Tennis, American football, Baseball, Ice hockey, Esports, Cricket, MMA
- Data: Fixtures, Historical data, Odds, Player props, Live scores
- Protocols: REST, WebSocket; formats: json
- Auth: api_key
- Free plan: none listed
- Cheapest paid plan: $65/mo
- Note: WebSocket costs 2x plan price; extra request packs +$185/+$299/+$409 per month. Home page says 'from 49 GBP' while pricing page says $65: USD pricing page used. Catalog hint mentions a 7-day trial via Zyla listing; not seen on own pricing page, so trial_days null. Partner program: 30% recurring commission. Also offers an MCP server.

## 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.
