Build with AI
Paste this prompt into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Lovable to get a first version built. You'll need an API key from SportsDataIO (Soccer) first — what's an API key?
Starter match list
Build me a simple app that lists matches for the Champions League, with data from the SportsDataIO (Soccer) API. Start on their "Free trial" plan — $0, no card: scrambled data; small daily call limit; soccer trial = Champions League only. It is a trial, so keep the code easy to point at a paid plan later. Docs: https://sportsdata.io/developers/api-documentation/soccer. 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 small daily call 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. - Their public pages don't say which data types are included, so first check the docs for which endpoints my plan includes.
