## Real-time edits, on your production website

Say goodbye to dedicated preview servers. Thanks to **our real-time API**, you will completely change the way you work and interact with your content **with just a couple of lines of code on your frontend website.**

Real-time API + content preview

## Preview changes as they get authored, no refresh needed

Instead of the API consumer only getting the new data upon their next query, with **DatoCMS's Real-time Updates, new data is instantly pushed to them**.

“ For our clients, being able to instantly view the result of their changes on the final site is simply critical. The fact that you don't need a staging server, and you don't even have to refresh the page, well, that's the icing on the cake that makes everything *wow.*”

## Live real-time API

## Need to cover live events as they happen?

The same API used to preview draft content can also be applied to offer **real-time updates to your website's final visitors** . Our infrastructure can **easily handle thousands of live users** with multiple updates per minute.

## Real-time GraphQL API

## GraphQL and Server-Sent Events, to deliver the **best developer ergonomic**

The Real-time Updates API uses *Server-Sent Events*, which is a protocol supported natively from all modern browsers, to **transform your regular GraphQL into streaming subscriptions**. Using our React and Vue libraries you can **get started in literally seconds**.
