Preview brief
# Integration brief: RaceHooks

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

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://racehooks.io/docs
- Docs: https://racehooks.io/docs
- Sports: Formula 1, Motorsport
- Data: Historical data, Predictions, Live scores, Team stats, Tracking data
- Protocols: REST, Webhooks, SSE; formats: json
- Auth: oauth, bearer
- Free plan: Free, 600 requests per hour
- Cheapest paid plan: $99/mo
- Note: Pricing page shows '$' without naming the currency; USD assumed. OAuth2 client-credentials issues 12h Bearer tokens.

## 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.
