Overview

The OpenDXL Streaming Python client library is used to consume records from and produce records to a Data Exchange Layer (DXL) Streaming Service.

The DXL Streaming Service exposes a REST-based API that communicates with a back-end streaming platform (Kafka, Kinesis, etc.). The streaming service performs authentication and authorization and exposes methods to retrieve and produce records.

One concrete example of a DXL Streaming Service is the McAfee Investigator "Events feed".
