Home page returned only a title (JS app); /docs 404. Sources conflict on whether an API key is required (one says keyless, a mirror says key required), so auth_methods left empty. Rate limits undocumented. Uncertain.
Before choosing a paid plan, confirm
• What counts as one request (per call, per market, per region?)
• What happens when you exceed the quota: blocked or billed
• Whether live and historical data are on your plan
• Whether your use (public app, betting, resale) is licensed

Preview brief
# Integration brief: SportsBlaze Goal: build a feature on SportsBlaze data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth. ## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them) - Website: https://sportsblaze.com - Docs: UNKNOWN — find the developer docs first - Sports: American football, Basketball, Baseball, Ice hockey - Data: Fixtures, Live scores, Team stats - Protocols: REST; formats: json - Auth: UNKNOWN — check the docs - Free plan: Free - Note: Home page returned only a title (JS app); /docs 404. Sources conflict on whether an API key is required (one says keyless, a mirror says key required), so auth_methods left empty. Rate limits undocumented. Uncertain. ## Verify before writing code - authentication method - 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.
