# Streaming

## Stream JSON Lines

To stream JSON Lines, declare the return type and use `yield` to return the data.

```python
@app.get("/items/stream")
async def stream_items() -> AsyncIterable[Item]:
    for item in items:
        yield item
```

## Server-Sent Events (SSE)

To stream Server-Sent Events, use `response_class=EventSourceResponse` and `yield` items from the endpoint.

items = [
    Item(name="Plumbus", price=32.99),
    Item(name="Portal Gun", price=999.99),
    Item(name="Meeseeks Box", price=49.99),
]


@app.get("/items/stream", response_class=EventSourceResponse)
async def stream_items(
    last_event_id: Annotated[int | None, Header()] = None,
) -> AsyncIterable[ServerSentEvent]:
    start = last_event_id + 1 if last_event_id is not None else 0
    for i, item in enumerate(items):
        if i < start:

items = [
    Item(name="Plumbus", price=32.99),
    Item(name="Portal Gun", price=999.99),
    Item(name="Meeseeks Box", price=49.99),
]


@app.get("/items/stream", response_class=EventSourceResponse)
async def stream_items() -> AsyncIterable[ServerSentEvent]:
    yield ServerSentEvent(comment="stream of item updates")
    for i, item in enumerate(items):

    Item(name="Portal Gun", description="A portal opening device."),
    Item(name="Meeseeks Box", description="A box that summons a Meeseeks."),
]


@app.get("/items/stream")
async def stream_items() -> AsyncIterable[Item]:
    for item in items:
        yield item


@app.get("/items/stream-no-async")
def stream_items_no_async() -> Iterable[Item]:
    for item in items:
        yield item

            if lenient_issubclass(return_annotation, Response):
                response_model = None
            else:
                stream_item = get_stream_item_type(return_annotation)
                if stream_item is not None:
                    # Extract item type for JSONL or SSE streaming when
                    # response_class is DefaultPlaceholder (JSONL) or
