How the Unix & Linux Top Questions screensaver works
The background pipeline polls Stack Exchange — the Unix & Linux Q&A community — every few minutes for new records.
Each new item eases up into its slot at the bottom of the list as it arrives.
A header shows a live/connecting indicator and the last update time.
No key is required for this key-less public endpoint.
A worked example
A real recent item scrolls into view with its details, then eases upward as newer ones arrive behind it.
