# Stream moves of a game

`GET /api/stream/game/{id}`

Stream positions and moves of any ongoing game, in [ndjson](#description/streaming-with-nd-json).
A description of the game is sent as a first message.
Then a message is sent each time a move is played.
Finally, a description of the game is sent when it finishes, and the stream is closed.
Ongoing games are delayed by 3 moves, as to prevent cheat bots from using this API.
No more than 8 game streams can be opened at the same time from the same IP address.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `200`

The stream of the game moves.

## Other responses
