Preview brief
# Integration brief: Stats Perform / Opta

Goal: build a feature on Stats Perform / Opta data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth.

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://statsperform.com
- Docs: https://developers.statsperform.com/
- Sports: Multi-sport (40+), Football (soccer)
- Data: Historical data, Odds, Player stats, Predictions, Team stats, xG
- Protocols: UNKNOWN — check the docs; formats: UNKNOWN — check the docs
- Auth: UNKNOWN — check the docs
- Free plan: none listed
- Note: No pre-crawled pages; relied on web search snippets only. Pricing FAQ says enterprise-level, sales-led. Protocols and formats not confirmed.

## 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.
