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 Sportmonks first — what's an API key?
Live score app
Build me a live score app for the Premier League showing today's matches with match events, with data from the Sportmonks API. Start on their "Free" plan — €0: free tier, no card (limits not stated on pricing page); paid plans also have a 14-day free trial, no card. Docs: https://docs.sportmonks.com/football. 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 plan's request limits (not stated on their public pricing page — check your dashboard). - 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.
Player stats leaderboard
Build me a player stats leaderboard for the Premier League (top scorers and other player stats), with data from the Sportmonks API. Start on their "Free" plan — €0: free tier, no card (limits not stated on pricing page); paid plans also have a 14-day free trial, no card. Docs: https://docs.sportmonks.com/football. 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 plan's request limits (not stated on their public pricing page — check your dashboard). - 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.
