Preview brief
# Integration brief: Squiggle

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

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://api.squiggle.com.au
- Docs: https://api.squiggle.com.au
- Sports: Australian football
- Data: Fixtures, Predictions, Results, Standings
- Protocols: REST, SSE; formats: json
- Auth: none
- Free plan: Free
- Note: Streaming API mentioned on the page for live match events; SSE protocol assumed from knowledge. No currency since free. Auth none assumed (no key mentioned).

## Verify before writing code
- 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.
