# Get Component Instance

[Catalyst Data Streams](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-streams/introduction/) lets you publish live, event-based data through channels and deliver it instantly to subscribed clients. You can create an instance of the Data Streams component to access all channel-level operations such as listing channels, publishing data, and generating WebSocket tokens.

You must first create a Data Streams instance using the `getInstance()` method to perform any Data Streams operations.

#### Sample Code Snippet

**Package Imports**

```java
import com.zc.component.datastream.ZCDatastream;
```

```java
//Create a Data Streams instance
ZCDatastream datastream = ZCDatastream.getInstance();
```
