Commercial decision

Pricing & plan limits

No public price list. Check the provider site.

Chess is not in the sports vocabulary, so sports is empty. Auth, pricing and limits not stated (a /v1/usage endpoint exists). Niche; borderline relevance. Chess focus comes from the batch hint.

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: TourneyRadar

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

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://tourneyradar-api.vercel.app
- Docs: https://tourneyradar-api.vercel.app/docs
- OpenAPI spec: https://tourneyradar-api.vercel.app/openapi.json
- Sports: UNKNOWN — check the docs
- Data: Fixtures
- Protocols: REST; formats: json
- Auth: UNKNOWN — check the docs
- Free plan: none listed
- Note: Chess is not in the sports vocabulary, so sports is empty. Auth, pricing and limits not stated (a /v1/usage endpoint exists). Niche; borderline relevance. Chess focus comes from the batch hint.

## Verify before writing code
- authentication method
- pricing and request limits
- 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.
