Quickstart

The Monitor WebSocket enables you to stream both on-chain and off-chain data. On-chain data (trade, creation, migration) are pre-parsed, ready for immediate use, and accessible through a variety of available endpoints.

If you have suggestions for new endpoints, feel free to reach out to our development team via our Telegram chat. Thank you for your contributions to the project!

We are currently in BETA. WebSocket access is free in exchange of your feedback.

Connection

No API key is required to use our WebSocket connection. It is free to use, and we do not have any hidden costs.

Once you are connected, you can explore our On/Off-Chain Data section to send messages to our server. You can also establish a connection by sending a message directly.

To maintain a stable connection, it's important to send a ping request every 8 minutes. The server allows a maximum duration of 10 minutes without a ping request from the client. This can be easily managed by using a keep-alive function when opening the WebSocket connection.

During the BETA phase, there is no limit on connections.
