Using real-world datasets instead of noise in TouchDesigner / POPs? Simulating live data streams for generative systems

has anyone here replaced noise with real datasets in touchdesigner?

i’m building a generative system using json news/social data (sentiment, velocity, timestamps, topics, etc) and trying to use the actual data as the force/behavior system instead of procedural noise.

thinking about creating a pseudo realtime stream from ~2k rows of data that continuously updates over time.

using pops/topology/proximity/feedback systems rn. curious if anyone’s done something similar or has ideas for best practices/workflows/tutorials/artists to study
