WebSockets

Bridge Service supports WebSocket connections for listening to changes in any property. Logs are also sent over WebSocket connections. Data transmitted through the WebSocket connection is in JSON format. Active WebSocket connections can be viewed under the WebSockets section of the web interface. The WebSocket is listening on endpoint /stream

        using var client = new ClientWebSocket();
        
        // the websocket path is /stream
        // if you are using SSL you also need to use the wss protocol and
        // supply an API key in the x-api-key request header
        var endpoint = "ws://127.0.0.1:8080/stream";

        // var endpoint = "wss://127.0.0.1:8080/stream"; // for ssl
        // client.Options.SetRequestHeader("x-api-key", /* your key */); // for ssl

        await client.ConnectAsync(new Uri(endpoint), CancellationToken.None);
        Console.WriteLine("Connected to WebSocket server.");

        var buffer = new byte[4096];
        while (client.State == WebSocketState.Open)
        {
            var result = await client.ReceiveAsync(new ArraySegment<byte>(buffer), CancellationToken.None);

            if (result.MessageType == WebSocketMessageType.Text)
            {
                string message = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buffer, 0, result.Count);
                Console.WriteLine(message);
            }
            else if (result.MessageType == WebSocketMessageType.Close)
            {
                await client.CloseAsync(WebSocketCloseStatus.NormalClosure, "Closing", CancellationToken.None);
                Console.WriteLine("Connection closed.");
            }
        }
