# Stream search results across multiple queries

`POST /api/{org_id}/_search_multi_stream`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.openobserve.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.openobserve.ai/api/{org_id}/_search_multi_stream`
- Auth: API key in header `Authorization`
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/openobserve/apis/openobserve-api-http/docs/api/:org_id/_search_multi_stream/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Executes multiple SQL queries and streams the results back in real-time using HTTP/2 server-sent events. This enables streaming of results from multiple independent queries simultaneously, ideal for multi-stream dashboards and complex analytics where you want to receive data as it becomes available from different data sources.
