# Datahose - Pod Real Time Events

Datahose is a data streaming service, that gives access to all messages and events in real time.

Similarly to [Datafeed 2](broken://pages/418dsNsIYJxEIrnsq1dA), Datahose allows a service user account (bot) to retrieve [Real Time Events](https://docs.developers.symphony.com/building-bots-on-symphony/datafeed/real-time-events) including all chat messages. However, with Datahose, there is no need for the service user to be part of a chat conversation to receive its messages: the service user will automatically receive **all events from all conversations** of the pod in real time.

Get more information on how to use Datahose with the [Datahose - Read Events](/main/datahose/datahose-read-events.md) endpoint.
