Hi, Unfortunately these type of data sources are endless as such it would be quite a challenge to write a native module to do this. The functionality you are looking for can be quite easily implemented from a script that would be invoked via im_exec. A simple example would be a shell script that does this: -------------------- #!/bin/sh while true; do curl http://server/rest/url sleep 1 done -------------------- Since your REST endpoint already emits json (make sure it is not formatted), it can be simply parsed in im_exec with parse_json(); You may not even need to parse if you want to ship it as is.
