Not every workload needs a database sink, a streaming consumer, or a warehouse. When you want to pull feed data on demand, Data Feeds supports two direct read paths.

​
REST / HTTP

Read feed data over plain HTTP. This is the simplest way in: no client libraries beyond an HTTP client, no infrastructure to run. Use it for spot checks, low-volume integrations, and getting a feel for a feed’s shape before committing to a heavier access method.

​
Arrow Flight (gRPC)

Arrow Flight is a gRPC-based protocol for moving Apache Arrow columnar data at high throughput. Instead of serializing rows one at a time, it transfers column batches that land directly in Arrow-native tooling (dataframes, query engines, and analytical libraries) without a conversion step. Use it for bulk pulls into Python or other analytical environments, where row-oriented HTTP APIs become the bottleneck.
