How to best use socket.io and pub/sub to create connection to API call - Nodejs

I have created my first application of Nodejs. I am using socket.io and express. I tried this tutorial: https://socket.io/get-started/chat/ and I find emit is what I might need not sure.

My application shows stock tickers, I am using API's, I have url like: https://quotes.example.com/v1/file.json/johndoe?&_token=tokenumber

All the users who open http://example.com/live page, I would like to push or emit stock tickers to this page. How do I best achieve this? I get the idea of live page needs to be a channel to which all user would subscribe and I am pushing data to it.

I have never worked on real-time apps before, all suggestions are welcomed.
