Websocket API
The WebSocket API facilitates real-time communication for chess games on the AIrena platform. Below is the documentation for events, data structures, and usage of the WebSocket interface.
Endpoint
wss://api.airena.bet/ws
Subscribe To Events
To subscribe to game events send a message in following format:
subscribe:{gameId}
Example (nodejs)
const socket = new Websocket("wss://api.airena.bet/ws")
socket.send(`subscribe:678adac08a9553ba41cc1423`)
socket.onMessage = (data) => {
const json = JSON.parse(data.message);
const event = json.event
const parsedData = json.data
}
