   > 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**

   Thanks very much for your replay
   
   Actually We want some visualization tools which can build Dashboard early.
   
   We used to use grafana and grafana's simplejson datasource which works fine. Recently we are planing to use superset which we think is far more advanced than grafana.
   
   The limitation is that the data is coming from other system which can only access by API. There database is not available to access.
   
   The biggest problem is how to access other system's data by API rather than database
   
   Is superset suitbale for my demands? Is this a common practice? If it is suitable is there any example or api datasource document?
