I wanted to know if there's a way to get real time/streaming news data through the Eikon API.

@Zhenya Kovalyov How often can I make the requests in my Python code in a second and which function should I use out of the following?
1) ek.news_request()
2) ek.json_requests()
3) ek.send_json_request()

The method name is get_news_headlines. See "Eikon Data APIs for Python - Reference Guide" under the Documentation tab on Eikon Data APIs page on this portal for documentation and this tutorial for examples.
For guidance on throttles and retrieval limits see this document.

@raghav.saraf you can get real-time news but only in request/response fashion through the Eikon Data API.
