# Meter Event Streams

You can send a higher-throughput of meter events using meter event streams. For this flow, you must first create a meter event session, which provides you with a session token. You can then create meter events through the meter event stream endpoint, using the session token for authentication. The session tokens are short-lived and you need to create a new meter event session when the token expires.
