Free Kafka Stream Data

[cool girl <co...@gmail.com>]

Hi ,

I am trying to learn Kafka. Is there any free API which I can use like
twitter? I created twitter account but looks like ti will take days before
I can use their streaming data .

Thanks
Priyanka

Hi,

This blog shows using Twitter as a source for Kafka:
https://www.confluent.io/blog/stream-processing-twitter-data-with-ksqldb/
The credentials necessary for that Twitter API are created instantly AFAIK.

If you just want messages to be generated in Kafka have a look at

  Welcome to Kafka. If you are seeking a REST API for pubsub/streaming.
there is none yet.
The only REST API that I am aware of is part of Kafka Connect - which you
can read about from here -
http://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#connect_rest

There are also REST APIs provided under Confluent licence, but they are
probably more admin and not what you are looking for. Please visit
confluent.io to check more details.
