It is relatively easy to build a simple program that connects to some peers in the network and receives transactions that are being broadcast. You do not need a third party service to do so.

[Pycoin](https://github.com/username_1/pycoin/blob/develop/) includes some [simple examples](https://github.com/username_1/pycoin/blob/develop/examples/inv_tracker.py) that connect to the network and receive `inv` messages, all you'd have to do then is to send `getdata` to the peer announcing the transaction.
