Websocket example

Guides General

This is a really simple example on how to use websockets in OB2.

BLOCK:WsConnect
  url = "wss://demo.piesocket.com/v3/channel_1?api_key=oCdCMcMPQpbvNjUIzqtvF1d2X2okWpDQj4AwARJuAgtjhzKxVEjQU6IdCjwm&notify_self"
ENDBLOCK

BLOCK:WsSend
  message = "hello"
ENDBLOCK

BLOCK:Delay
  milliseconds = 1000
ENDBLOCK

BLOCK:WsRead
  => VAR @wsReadOutput
ENDBLOCK

BLOCK:WsDisconnect
ENDBLOCK

Note that this is just for testing. In most real-world scenarios you will need to first send an HTTP request to the HTTP webserver and then upgrade your connection to websocket.
