Stack Exchange API not realtime?

I was testing the inbox/unread API but noticed that there is a big delay between one gets a message, and this message gets included in the API response. Like one minute or more.

Is this API not real-time, and is there a way to get real-time unread inbox items?

It would be essential for me, as I'm making an app to give user live notifications about new inbox messages.
