LiveAPI.org is an open reference for real-time APIs: websockets, webhooks, server-sent events, and streaming endpoints, explained with runnable examples.
Free for early members. No credit card required.
What Live API Does
A community-oriented reference on APIs that push data as it changes: websocket APIs, webhooks, server-sent events, and streaming endpoints, with vendor-neutral examples.
Receiving pushes reliably: verification, retries, idempotency, and the mistakes every first webhook makes.
Message shapes, subscriptions, and auth for APIs that hold a connection open.
Chunked and event-stream endpoints that deliver results as they are produced, not after.
Push vs poll vs stream — decision guides grounded in latency, cost, and failure behavior.
Minimal client and server snippets in common languages, free to copy and adapt.
Clear definitions for the terms real-time API docs throw around — backpressure, fan-out, at-least-once.
How Live API Works
Start with the push/poll/stream overview so you can name what your integration actually needs.
Each pattern has a minimal, runnable client and server showing the full round trip.
Apply the reliability checklists: signatures, retries, ordering, and reconnection.
About
LiveAPI — An open guide to real-time APIs Part of the VentureOS network of 20,000+ smart entities, each built to create real value in its vertical. Backed by 63+ specialist agents, shared infrastructure, and a unified economy.
It delivers data when the data changes — by pushing events to you (webhooks, websockets) or streaming a response as it is generated — instead of waiting to be asked again.
Webhooks suit server-to-server notifications with no open connection. Websockets suit interactive clients that both send and receive continuously.
Yes — the guides and example code are open for anyone to read, copy, and adapt.
From the Network
Not a website. Not a landing page. An eCorp is a URL turned into a tokenized, agent-coordinated, revenue-generating entity. Here's the unpacked definition.
Read →One operator, one OS, one network — how VentureOS turns 20,000 dormant domains into 20,000 live eCorps over the next 12 months.
Read →We shipped amber v2.0 with a dark cyberpunk palette. The Founder called it cold and non-engaging within 60 seconds. Here's what we learned about warm design and human trust.

Every eCorp in the VentureOS network is purpose-built, agent-coordinated, and connected to the ones it depends on. Follow the threads.
