If you are doing it that quick, don’t use setInterval

Run a request, when the request completes start the next one.

Or collect events via other means and push that to the front end.

Which API’s are you trying to call?

The Twitch API uses caching, so the closest you’ll get to updating viewer count in real-time would be by polling the API once a minute.
