Preview brief
# Integration brief: SciSports

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

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://www.scisports.com
- Docs: UNKNOWN — find the developer docs first
- Sports: Football (soccer)
- Data: Player stats, Team stats, Tracking data
- Protocols: REST; formats: json, xml, csv
- Auth: UNKNOWN — check the docs
- Free plan: none listed
- Cheapest paid plan: €1,000/yr
- Note: Price comes from a third-party directory (via search snippet), not SciSports; Capterra says contact vendor. JSON confirmed on metrics-integration page; XML/CSV only on league page. No public docs found.

## Verify before writing code
- authentication method
- 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.
