Preview brief
# Integration brief: PulseScore

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

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://pulsescore.net
- Docs: https://pulsescore.net/docs
- Sports: Multi-sport (40+), Football (soccer), Horse racing, American football
- Data: Odds, Player props, Results
- Protocols: REST, WebSocket, SSE; formats: json
- Auth: api_key
- Free plan: Basic, 500 requests per month
- Cheapest paid plan: €20/mo
- Note: Stream API delta streams protocol mapped to 'sse' (not verified). Multi-month prepay discounts exist. Swagger at api.pulsescore.net.

## 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.
