Build with AI
Paste one of these prompts into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Lovable to get a first version built. You'll need an API key from Highlightly first — what's an API key?
Fixtures and media browser
Build me a match browser for a league it covers that shows upcoming fixtures with the provider's media (video highlights), with data from the Highlightly API. We couldn't confirm specific leagues on Highlightly's public pages — check their coverage page first (start from https://highlightly.net). Start on their "Basic" plan — $0: 100 requests/day; no credit card. Docs: https://highlightly.net/football-api/documentation/. Please: - Keep my API key secret: store it in an environment variable / server-side function, never in front-end code. - Cache responses so we stay within the 100 requests/day limit. - Show attribution if the provider's terms require it. - Only show data the API actually returns; if something isn't on my plan, tell me instead of making it up.
