You can use Websockets from Javascript in HTML or poll the website for data using a HttpRequest object in C#.
I would recommend polling for data via HttpRequest since the data will be a little more reliable when not generated completely on the client machine.
Also you may use encryption methods for security.

If you're considering using Websockets, then look at http://asp.net/signalr which wraps this for you in the latest tech with fallbacks. – freedomn-m Dec 02 '16 at 11:40
