# Real Time Sources for Apache Kafka, Azure Event Hubs, and Fabric Event Streams



Learning how to build event streaming solutions with Microsoft Azure Event Hubs,

Microsoft Fabric Event Streams, and any Apache Kafka compatible server and

service is more interesting when you have real time data sources to work with.



This repo contains command line tools, written in Python, that can be used to

retrieve real-time streaming data and related reference data from various APIs,

and then routing the data to Apache Kafka compatible endpoints.



For each tool, there is a corresponding, pre-built (Docker-) container image

that you can pull and use instantly from this repo's container registry. There

are also pre-built templates for easily deploying the containers as an Azure

Container Instance (ACI), either feeding data into an Azure Event Hub or an

Fabric Event Stream custom endpoint. The container images will work with any

Apache Kafka compatible server or service, as long as you provide required

information. The supported authentication scheme for the Kafka endpoint is

`SASL/PLAIN`.



The container image documentation provides detailed information:



* [GTFS Realtime - Public transport data](gtfs/CONTAINER.md)

* [NOAA Tides ands Currents -  Water level and current data](noaa/CONTAINER.md)

* [RSS Feeds - News and blog posts](rss/CONTAINER.md)

* [Pegelonline - Water level and current data](pegelonline/CONTAINER.md)

* [USGS Instantaneous Values - Water quality and quantity data](usgs-iv/CONTAINER.md)



Details about the tools and the data sources are provided in the respective

README files.



## Command Line Tools



### GTFS Realtime - Public transport data



The [GTFS Realtime Bridge](gtfs/README.md) is a command line tool that retrieves

to retrieve schedules, real-time vehicle position, real-time trip updates (live

predictions of arrivals/departures), and alerts from practically any GTFS and

GTFS-RT service. Over 1000 public transport agencies worldwide publish their

data in GTFS format, and many of them also provide real-time data in GTFS-RT

format. 



In terms of sheer data volume, the feeds related to the New York City

Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) will produce over 50 Gigabytes of

data each day.



### NOAA Tides ands Currents -  Water level and current data



The [NOAA data poller](noaa/README.md) is a command line tool that can be used

to retrieve real-time water level and current data from NOAA's National Ocean

Service (NOS) Tides and Currents API. The data is available for over 3000

stations in the United States and its territories. The NOAA data is updated

every 6 minutes, and the data volume is relatively low.



### RSS Feeds - News and blog posts



The [RSS feed poller](rss/README.md) is a command line tool that can be used to

retrieve real-time news and blog posts from any RSS feed. The tool can be

configured with a list of RSS feed URLs or OPML files, and it will poll the

feeds at a configurable interval. The RSS client will only forward new items

from the feeds.



### Pegelonline - Water level and current data



The [Pegelonline data poller](pegelonline/README.md) is a command line tool that

can be used to retrieve real-time water level and current data from the German

Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV) Pegelonline API. The data is

available for over 3000 stations in Germany. The Pegelonline data is updated

every 15 minutes, and the data volume is relatively low.



### Nextbus - Public transport data



The [Nextbus tool](nextbus/README.md) is a command line tool that can be used to

retrieve real-time data from the [Nextbus](https://www.nextbus.com/) service and

feed that data into Azure Event Hubs and Microsft Fabric Event Streams. The tool

can also be used to query the Nextbus service interactively.



### USGS Instantaneous Values - Water quality and quantity data



The [USGS Instantaneous Values tool](usgs-iv/README.md) is a command line tool that

can be used to retrieve real-time water quality and quantity data from the

United States Geological Survey (USGS) Instantaneous Values API. The data is

available for over 1.5 million stations in the United States and its territories.

The USGS data is updated every 15 minutes, and the data volume is relatively low.



### Forza Motorsport PC - Racing game telemetry data



The

[Forza Motorsports telemetry bridge](https://github.com/clemensv/forza-telemetry-bridge)

is hosted in a separate repository. The bridge app is designed to capture and

forward Forza Motorsports telemetry data to Microsoft Azure Event Hubs or

Microsoft Fabric Event Streams. It utilizes UDP to listen for telemetry data

sent from Forza Motorsport games and forwards this data after processing and

formatting into cloud event streams. The game is compatible with the XBox and PC

games. For XBox, it requires a separate computer to run the bridge app. While

there is no containerized version, there is a binary release in a ZIP file

[available from the releases page](https://github.com/clemensv/forza-telemetry-bridge/releases).
