# Overview and Examples

Firehose is an enterprise data feed with Open Web content from all territories and languages.

Unlike query APIs that return pre-filtered results, Legacy Firehose delivers News, Blogs, Discussions, and Reviews posts as XML in 10 MB ZIP files on a dedicated FTP site. New files are available every two minutes.

> [!NOTE]
> Firehose access is not included with standard or evaluation subscriptions. [Contact our Data Experts](https://webz.io/talk-to-an-expert) for Open Web data at scale.
