=================
websocket-client
=================

websocket-client module  is WebSocket client for python. This provide the low level APIs for WebSocket. All APIs are the synchronous functions.

websocket-client supports only hybi-13.


License
=======

 - BSD

Installation
============

This module is tested on Python 2.7 and Python 3.4+.

Type "python setup.py install" or "pip install websocket-client" to install.

.. CAUTION::

  from v0.16.0, we can install by "pip install websocket-client" for Python 3.

This module depends on

 - six
 - backports.ssl_match_hostname for Python 2.x

Performance
-----------

The "send" and "validate_utf8" methods are too slow on pure python. If you want to get better performace, please install both numpy and wsaccel.


How about Python 3
==================

Now, we support Python 3 on single source code from version 0.14.0. Thanks, @battlemidget and @ralphbean.

HTTP Proxy
==========

Support websocket access via http proxy.
The proxy server must allow "CONNECT" method to websocket port.
Default squid setting is "ALLOWED TO CONNECT ONLY HTTPS PORT".

Current implementation of websocket-client is using "CONNECT" method via proxy.


example

.. code:: python

    import websocket
    ws = websocket.WebSocket()
    ws.connect("ws://example.com/websocket", http_proxy_host="proxy_host_name", http_proxy_port=3128)



Examples
========

Long-lived connection
---------------------
This example is similar to how WebSocket code looks in browsers using JavaScript.

.. code:: python

    import websocket
    try:
        import thread
    except ImportError:
        import _thread as thread
    import time

    def on_message(ws, message):
        print(message)

    def on_error(ws, error):
        print(error)

    def on_close(ws):
        print("### closed ###")

    def on_open(ws):
        def run(*args):
            for i in range(3):
                time.sleep(1)
                ws.send("Hello %d" % i)
            time.sleep(1)
            ws.close()
            print("thread terminating...")
        thread.start_new_thread(run, ())


    if __name__ == "__main__":
        websocket.enableTrace(True)
        ws = websocket.WebSocketApp("ws://echo.websocket.org/",
                                  on_message = on_message,
                                  on_error = on_error,
                                  on_close = on_close)
        ws.on_open = on_open
        ws.run_forever()



Short-lived one-off send-receive
--------------------------------
This is if you want to communicate a short message and disconnect immediately when done.

.. code:: python

    from websocket import create_connection
    ws = create_connection("ws://echo.websocket.org/")
    print("Sending 'Hello, World'...")
    ws.send("Hello, World")
    print("Sent")
    print("Receiving...")
    result =  ws.recv()
    print("Received '%s'" % result)
    ws.close()


If you want to customize socket options, set sockopt.

sockopt example

.. code:: python

    from websocket import create_connection
    ws = create_connection("ws://echo.websocket.org/",
                            sockopt=((socket.IPPROTO_TCP, socket.TCP_NODELAY),))


More advanced: Custom class
---------------------------
You can also write your own class for the connection, if you want to handle the nitty-gritty details yourself.

.. code:: python

    import socket
    from websocket import create_connection, WebSocket
    class MyWebSocket(WebSocket):
        def recv_frame(self):
            frame = super().recv_frame()
            print('yay! I got this frame: ', frame)
            return frame

    ws = create_connection("ws://echo.websocket.org/",
                            sockopt=((socket.IPPROTO_TCP, socket.TCP_NODELAY, 1),), class_=MyWebSocket)


FAQ

How to disable ssl cert verification?
-------------------------------------

Please set sslopt to {"cert_reqs": ssl.CERT_NONE}.

WebSocketApp sample

.. code:: python

    ws = websocket.WebSocketApp("wss://echo.websocket.org")
    ws.run_forever(sslopt={"cert_reqs": ssl.CERT_NONE})


create_connection sample

.. code:: python

    ws = websocket.create_connection("wss://echo.websocket.org",
      sslopt={"cert_reqs": ssl.CERT_NONE})


WebSocket sample

.. code:: python

    ws = websocket.WebSocket(sslopt={"cert_reqs": ssl.CERT_NONE})
    ws.connect("wss://echo.websocket.org")


How to disable hostname verification?
-------------------------------------

Please set sslopt to {"check_hostname": False}.
(since v0.18.0)

WebSocketApp sample

.. code:: python

    ws = websocket.WebSocketApp("wss://echo.websocket.org")
    ws.run_forever(sslopt={"check_hostname": False})


create_connection sample

.. code:: python

    ws = websocket.create_connection("wss://echo.websocket.org",
      sslopt={"check_hostname": False})


WebSocket sample

.. code:: python

    ws = websocket.WebSocket(sslopt={"check_hostname": False})

How to enable `SNI <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication>`_?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SNI support is available for Python 2.7.9+ and 3.2+. It will be enabled automatically whenever possible.


Sub Protocols.
--------------

The server needs to support sub protocols, please set the subprotocol like this.


Subprotocol sample

.. code:: python

    ws = websocket.create_connection("ws://example.com/websocket", subprotocols=["binary", "base64"])



wsdump.py
=========

wsdump.py is simple WebSocket test(debug) tool.

sample for echo.websocket.org::

  $ wsdump.py ws://echo.websocket.org/
  Press Ctrl+C to quit
  > Hello, WebSocket
  < Hello, WebSocket
  > How are you?
  < How are you?
