Description: A Data Streaming API is an application programming interface that allows the continuous flow of data between systems, facilitating real-time information transmission. Unlike traditional APIs, which typically operate under a request-response model, streaming APIs enable data to flow continuously and asynchronously, resulting in more efficient and faster communication. These APIs are essential in environments where the immediacy of information is crucial, such as in various applications, e-commerce platforms, and real-time monitoring systems. Key features of a streaming API include the ability to handle large volumes of data, a persistent connection between the client and server, and the delivery of data in event or message format. This allows developers to build applications that respond instantly to changes in data, enhancing user experience and optimizing business processes. In an increasingly interconnected world, streaming APIs have become fundamental for system integration and the creation of dynamic applications that require constant access to updated data.
