Preview brief
# Integration brief: SportsAPI Pro Goal: build a feature on SportsAPI Pro data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth. ## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them) - Website: https://sportsapipro.com - Docs: https://docs.sportsapipro.com/introduction - Sports: Multi-sport (40+) - Data: Fixtures, Lineups, Odds, Player stats, Predictions, Live scores, Standings, Team stats - Protocols: REST, WebSocket; formats: json - Auth: api_key - Free plan: Free, 100 requests per day - Cheapest paid plan: $45/mo - Note: Monthly figures from the compare table (summarizer); 3-month card prices differ with discount. Site says 25+ sports; docs list V1 9, V2 25, V3 34 sports. ## 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.
