Preview brief
# Integration brief: OddsPapi

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

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://oddspapi.io
- Docs: https://oddspapi.io/us/docs
- Sports: Multi-sport (40+)
- Data: Historical data, Odds, Player props
- Protocols: REST, WebSocket; formats: json
- Auth: api_key
- Free plan: Free, 250 requests per month
- Note: Pricing page is JS-rendered; calculator rates not captured. Free-tier 250 req/month comes from OddsPapi's own blog (search snippet), not the pricing page. Auth via apiKey query param.

## 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.
