+# HTTP client - Server-sent events
+
+The `http:Client` in Ballerina supports receiving real-time data from services using Server-Sent Events (SSE). It allows payload-binding of a stream of `http:SseEvent` when consuming SSE from a service. This payload binding fails if the content type header is not present in the response or does not have the value `text/event-stream`.
+
+::: code http_sse_client.bal :::
+
+## Prerequisites
+- Run the HTTP service given in the [Server-sent events](/learn/by-example/http-sse-service/) example.
+
+Run the client program by executing the following command..

+# HTTP service - Server-sent events
+
+The `http:Service` in Ballerina supports pushing real-time data to clients using Server-Sent Events (SSE). A stream of `http:SseEvent` can be returned from service resource methods. This feature automatically handles sending SSE and sets the content type to `text/event-stream`, and the transfer encoding is automatically set to chunked.
+
+::: code http_sse_service.bal :::
+
+Run the service program by executing the following command.
+
+::: out http_sse_service.server.out :::
+
+Invoke the service by executing the following cURL command in a new terminal.
+
+::: out http_sse_service.client.out :::
