Preview brief
# Integration brief: PA Media Sport Data

Goal: build a feature on PA Media Sport Data data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth.

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://www.pressassociation.com
- Docs: UNKNOWN — find the developer docs first
- Sports: Football (soccer), Horse racing, Tennis, Basketball, Cycling, Motorsport
- Data: Fixtures, Results, Live scores, Team stats
- Protocols: REST, Push feed; formats: UNKNOWN — check the docs
- Auth: api_key
- Free plan: none listed
- Note: Crawled home page is general news-agency content. Sport list is from search snippets of a third-party vendor page; docs and pricing unconfirmed. Sports list may be incomplete.

## 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.
