### Listening to events
|

## Listening to events
|

Whenever the WebSocket client receives data, it will emit a specific event. \
|
||||
Users can either ignore those events or listen for them by registering callback functions. \

||||
@@ -142,9 +179,48 @@ You can pass any number of events to register for the same callback function:

### Main events
|
||||
## Events
|
||||
|
||||
### Reconnection in case of network failure
|
||||
### `open`:
|
||||
|
||||
When the connection with the server is established, the client will emit the `open` event. \
|
||||
This is the right place for all bootstrap activities, including subscribing to public channels.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
@bfx.wss.on("open")
|
||||
async def on_open():
|
||||
await bfx.wss.subscribe(Channel.TICKER, symbol="tBTCUSD")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `authenticated`:
|
||||
|
||||
If authentication succeeds, the client will emit the `authenticated` event. \
|
||||
All operations that require authentication must be performed after the emission of this event. \
|
||||
The `data` argument contains information regarding the authentication, such as the `userId`, the `auth_id`, etc...

||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
@bfx.wss.on("authenticated")
|
||||
def on_authenticated(data: Dict[str, Any]):
|
||||
print(f"Successful login for user <{data['userId']}>.)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Sending custom notifications
|
||||
|
||||
**Sending custom notifications requires user authentication.**
|
||||
|
||||
Users can send custom notifications using `BfxWebSocketClient::notify`:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
await bfx.wss.notify({ "foo": 1 })
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The server broadcasts custom notifications to each of its clients:

||||
def on_notification(notification: Notification[Any]):
|
||||
print(notification.data) # { "foo": 1 }
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||
