Data from real-time sources via streaming

You might have data that updates in real-time that you would like to put on data.world. This data could be something like log files, test metrics or tracking data. The best way to integrate this data into a dataset is to use data.world's streaming API. Unlike the methods previously mentioned which pull data from the source on a regularly scheduled basis, data brought in through the streaming API can be pushed into a dataset based on a change to the original data. Because it's triggered by data events and not random time intervals, using the streaming API is the best way to manage real-time data. You can read more about streaming in our API documentation.
