The `api_streams` sensor platform shows how many clients are connected to the stream API.

## {% linkable_title Configuration %}

To add the connected clients to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: api_streams
```
