Abstract
Technologies are described herein for adaptive polling based upon demand. A data source is polled for data at a first polling frequency. A request is received for a page or other type of resource that includes the data, and the data is provided in response to the request. Subsequently, the data source is polled for the data at a second polling frequency greater than the first polling frequency. Status messages are also received indicating a status of a display of the page. The polling frequency may be adjusted based on the status messages. For example, the polling frequency may be increased if a status message indicates that a user is viewing the data. The polling frequency may be decreased if a status message indicates that the data is not being viewed or that a page or other type of resource for presenting the data has been closed.
