# Live Action Items

> Query live action items for a meeting

## Overview

The `live_action_items` query allows you to fetch action items for a live meeting. This includes both action items automatically created by Fireflies during the meeting and action items created via the `createLiveActionItem` mutation.

## Arguments

<ParamField path="meeting_id" type="ID!" required>
  The ID of the meeting to fetch live action items for
</ParamField>

## Response

Returns an array of `LiveActionItem` objects with the following fields:

<ResponseField name="name" type="String">
  Name of the person who the action item is associated with
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="action_item" type="String!">
  The action item text
</ResponseField>

## Usage Example

To fetch live action items for a meeting:

```graphql  theme={null}
query LiveActionItems($meeting_id: ID!) {
  live_action_items(meeting_id: $meeting_id) {
    name
    action_item
  }
}
```
