Authentication

All WebSocket feeds require authentication

Authentication commands should be JSON with the following properties:

Property	Type	Command
type	string	"authenticate"
apiKey	string	"<YOU-API-KEY>"

NodeJS

const authMessage = {
   type: 'authenticate',
   apiKey: '<API_KEY>',
}
ws.send(JSON.stringify(authMessage))

Python

auth_message={
  "type": "authenticate",
  "apiKey": "<API KEY>"
}

await ws.send(json_dump(auth_message))
