   Short answer: No.
   
   To build a realtime solution, you will have to think about many aspects rather than just the visualization tool:
   1. Usually we don't show 1 million data points in a chart, it hardly gives any insights. So how you want to aggregate data before visualization.
   2. I think that you expect something like a realtime "flowing" line chart. Unfortunately, I don't think the default Superset visuals will give you that experience (which you can find when you update eChart data directly). Even if you find ways to refresh your data every 0.5s, the chart will be glitchy every time it refreshes.
   3. Superset is mainly a visualization tool, you can write some custom connectors to your APIs but that's not a very common practice. It's just a part of an Analytics Solution where you have to think about Ingestion, Data Warehouse, Modeling and **Visualization**
   
   So, please consider more carefully what you want, what you need, and the cost the implement those.
