websocket-client is a Python library implementing the WebSocket protocol (hybi-13 / RFC 6455) with both low-level and higher-level APIs. It supports connections over TCP and SSL, optional SOCKS/HTTP proxy usage, and automatic reconnection via the run_forever method.
Use cases
- connect to a websocket server from python
- stream real-time data over websockets
- subscribe to a websocket api feed
- send and receive websocket messages in python
- build a websocket client with automatic reconnect
- use websockets through a socks proxy
When to choose
- you need a mature, widely-used websocket client for Python 3.10+
- you want low-level control over websocket frames and connections
- you need proxy support or SSL websocket connections
When to avoid
- you need permessage-deflate compression (RFC 7692 is not supported)
- you want an asyncio-native websocket client (consider the 'websockets' library)
- you need a websocket server implementation
