Preview brief
# Integration brief: PandaScore

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

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://pandascore.co
- Docs: https://developers.pandascore.co/docs/introduction
- Sports: Esports
- Data: Fixtures, Historical data, Odds, Play-by-play, Results, Live scores, Team stats
- Protocols: REST, WebSocket; formats: json
- Auth: bearer
- Free plan: Fixtures, 1000 requests per hour
- Cheapest paid plan: €400/mo
- Note: Stats plans restricted to non-betting use; betting customers go through sales. Country from general knowledge. Bearer auth inferred from docs Authentication section.

## Verify before writing code
- 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.
