The Advanced Agent API can stream responses. This allows you to process data incrementally as it becomes available, rather than waiting for the full payload. The following example shows how to manage a stream call of the Advanced Agent API with cURL: 
curl -N \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -X POST https://api.you.com/v1/agents/runs \
  -d '{
    "agent": "advanced",
    "input": "You are a biologist studying the impacts of microplastics. Explain what microplastics are to a group of engineers, explain the impacts of microplastics on the body, and what the common source and dosage of microplastics are.

    "stream": true
  }'
