Whats are some real time data sources? - real-time

Question

I'm working on a demo on real-time visualization and I'm trying to think out of the box. Looks like any big data real-time demo is on twitter or traffic data. Are there any other options out there that publish real-time data (for free)?
Thanks

Answer 1

Just some thoughts:
Environmental Datasets
As stated by the other comment, have a look to weather, forecast (or similar services).
Space data
What about data from the Universe?
Flights
Here's some real time flight tracking data: the evaluation plan is limited but free.
Social Networks
Twitter Streaming API, Facebook RealTime Updates API (in case you hyave already an app on the social Network), Foursquare
Energy production
Various energy production (real-time and quasi real-time) data.
On these ones probably you have to fiddle around the pages to track the sources of the data, sorry.
Website traffic
Google Analytics RealTime API (for your registered websites)
Money
Bitcoin transactions, Stock Market API
More?
And here and here an "not-so-updated" list of other Real-Time API services (some free, some others not).

Answer 2

Have you considered environmental datasets?
For one, there are near real time (say, hourly or 15m) data on streamflow and water quality. There's also a wealth of weather data served up via NOAA NCDC and APIs. How about some bouy data?
Seeing this post reminded me that there's lots of flight tracking data out there which could be fun to visualize too.

Answer 3

You can find real-time data sources at www.hooksdata.io. Using a query language you can specify what data you need and then add a webhook URL where you want to receive the data or just pull the data anytime.
API DOCS: https://www.hooksdata.io/docs/api/introduction/
Available data sources with examples:
RSS:
Input:
SELECT * FROM RSS('http://feeds.feedburner.com/TechCrunch/')

Answer 4

I'm been working with Ably Hub - it is a marketplace for open streaming data sources, which are either paid or free to use under different licenses.
Full disclosure: I'm a Developer Advocate for Ably but I think the resources from this marketplace might certainly help you with some cool data viz.
If you are interested in checking out an example - I built a live bitcoin price chart using one of the sources from the Ably Hub and KendoUI.
