+
+The [server-sent events](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Server-sent_events/Using_server-sent_events) feature is a one-way channel from your Home Assistant server to a client which is acting as a consumer. For bi-directional communication check the [RESTful API](/developers/rest_api/) and [Python API](/developers/python_api/).
+
+The URI that is generating the data is `/api/stream`.
+
+A requirement on the client-side is existing support for the [EventSource](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventSource) interface.
+
+There are various ways to access the stream. One is `curl`:
+
+```bash
+$ curl -X GET -H "x-ha-access: YOUR_PASSWORD" http://localhost:8123/api/stream
+```
+
+For more comfort put the HTML snippet below in a file `sse.html` in your `www` folder of your Home Assistant configuration directory (`.homeassistant`)
+
+```html
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html>
+<body>
+    <h1>Getting Home Assistant server events</h1>
+    <div id="events"></div>
+    <script type="text/javascript">
+        var source = new EventSource("/api/stream");
+        source.onmessage = function(event) {
+            document.getElementById("events").innerHTML += event.data + "<br>";
+        };
+    </script>
+</body>
+</html>
+```
+
+Visit [https://localhost:8123/local/sse.html](https://localhost:8123/local/sse.html) to see the stream of events.
