Streams of reasonably interesting data published reasonably stochastically

Turns pull based data into streams of data pushed to the client via web sockets every 3-5 seconds. Each data source is identified by a channel name and will return a payload with a consistent shape. This is meant for testing interfaces that rely on data streams rather than polling.

You can subscribe to a stream using Pusher in the browser like this:

<script src="https://js.pusher.com/4.2/pusher.min.js"></script>
<script>
  const stream = new Pusher('e8f388c50dfc938652ce', { cluster: 'eu' })
  stream.subscribe('SOME-CHANNEL-NAME').bind('default', console.log)
</script>

Or you can try it online on CodePen

Replace SOME-CHANNEL-NAME with one of the channels listed below and then open the console to see the data flowing in. Replace the console.log with a function that accepts a single argument that is the payload of the channel you have subscribed to. You can use the same stream to subscribe to multiple channels.

Below are a list of data streams by channel name. Some of them return generated mock data and others rely on live data points from open source or publicly available APIs.
