Research direction

Start by researching web APIs that provide frequently changing time-series data and can be queried without excessive load. Evaluate whether a requests-based source would work for streamz demonstrations and what a Tornado-based version would require. Done means selecting a suitable API and defining a workable live demonstration source.

Description

It would be useful when explaining streamz to have a live source of data. Are there any good web APIs that we can query from somewhat rapidly without making anyone angry at us? Perhaps a time series of changing data like stock data? If anyone has time to search around the internet that would be helpful. If anyone finds something nice with requests or whatnot I'd be more than happy to tornado-ify it.
