Preview brief
# Integration brief: Touchline Wire

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

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://touchlinewire.com/docs
- Docs: https://touchlinewire.com/docs
- Sports: Football (soccer)
- Data: Injuries, Lineups, Predictions, Standings, Team stats
- Protocols: REST; formats: json
- Auth: none
- Free plan: Free
- Note: Self-reported accuracy figures on site not independently verified. Premier League only.

## Verify before writing code
- 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.
