How to use NOAA API to get Tsunami events data in real time

I am trying to retrieve past Tsunami data using NOAA website. I am trying to execute a project which retrieves Tsunami data from NOAA website in real time and print a heat map based on the data pulled. I require the previous tsunami event data in JSON/BSON/Dictionary format. I found the API documentation but not sure how to use it in my local machine. Any ideas on how to retrieve Tsunami event data from NOAA site to my local machine in real time, Ideally the script would be written in Python?
