Docs page is a JS shell so protocols and auth are unknown. Country from the Singapore address on the pricing page. The below-market claim is marketing, not verified.

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: TheSports

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

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://www.thesports.com
- Docs: https://www.thesports.com/docs
- Sports: Football (soccer), Basketball, Tennis, Esports, Multi-sport (40+)
- Data: Fixtures, Lineups, Play-by-play, Live scores, Team stats, Widgets
- Protocols: UNKNOWN — check the docs; formats: UNKNOWN — check the docs
- Auth: UNKNOWN — check the docs
- Free plan: none listed
- Note: Docs page is a JS shell so protocols and auth are unknown. Country from the Singapore address on the pricing page. The below-market claim is marketing, not verified.

## 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.
