Hello everyone,  
I’m Emmanuel Katto from Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) facing a challenge with Glide while trying to call an external API that streams data via HTTP. When I try to make the API request, it seems like Glide isn’t able to handle the streaming response. Since real-time or near-real-time data is crucial for my project, I’m wondering if there’s a way to receive and process streaming HTTP data in Glide.

Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Regards  
**Emmanuel Katto**

> Hello community ! I’m having an issue with glide using API calls ! I’m trying to call an external API in glide (the API streams some data via HTTP) but it seems that glide can’t receive streaming data returned in response by calling that API endpoint! Is there a way in glide to get the streaming http response when calling the api, Because having data in real-time or near real-time is essential in my case ?
