Integration Framework and External APIs
Resilient, scalable integration layer that abstracts external API complexity, handles failures gracefully, and provides consistent interfaces regardless of the underlying provider.
Platform Integrations
Sports Data APIs
Unified Access
Single interface for multiple providers:
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Sportradar | Real-time game data |
| TheOddsAPI | Betting odds aggregation |
| ESPN | League schedules and standings |
Requirements
- WHEN sports data is requested, THE IntegrationHub SHALL route requests to the appropriate provider
- WHEN multiple providers offer the same data, THE IntegrationHub SHALL implement fallback strategies
- WHEN data is received, THE SchemaTransformer SHALL normalize external formats to internal Pydantic models
- WHEN rate limits are approached, THE RateLimiter SHALL queue requests and throttle appropriately
- WHEN APIs are unavailable, THE CircuitBreaker SHALL prevent cascading failures
