Preview brief
# Integration brief: Punting Form

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

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://www.puntingform.com.au
- Docs: UNKNOWN — find the developer docs first
- Sports: Horse racing
- Data: Fixtures, Historical data, Predictions, Results, Team stats
- Protocols: REST; formats: json
- Auth: api_key
- Free plan: Free
- Cheapest paid plan: A$59/mo
- Note: Currency assumed AUD (page shows '$' only; Australian site). Docs URL not found (docs page crawled returned 404). Modeller plan is personal-use only per page.

## 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.
