# Live Sessions

A **`live_session`** is the event where a live signal is ingested and broadcasted uninterruptedly. An individual `live_entity` could contain multiple live sessions. 

The API allows you to list all sessions that belong to a `live_entity` which is identified by its `id`, or retrieve a specific `live_session`.

### The session object
