## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 70/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 91, release rhythm 35, longevity 85
- inputs: {"age_days": 1196, "days_push": 54, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A curated awesome-list of publicly available real-time datasets and streaming data sources, maintained by the Bytewax team. It catalogs free and paid APIs and feeds—accessed via HTTP or WebSockets—across categories like finance, crypto, and more.

## Use cases
- find real-time data sources for a streaming project
- discover public websocket APIs for market data
- get sample live data feeds to test stream processing
- find free crypto or stock price streaming APIs
- locate real-time datasets for a data science demo
- find live data sources for building a real-time dashboard

## When to choose
- you need a starting point for discovering live data feeds
- you want free real-time APIs to prototype streaming pipelines
- you're comparing available real-time data sources across domains

## When to avoid
- you need a downloadable static dataset rather than live streams
- you need guaranteed data quality or SLAs from a single provider
- you want processed or cleaned data rather than raw source links

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: streaming, data-science, data-visualization
- domain: data-science, big-data, analytics, awesome-lists
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, real-time-data, datasets, streaming-data, curated-list, websockets, public-data, real-time
