Websockets in Python

WebSocket is a protocol for machine-to-machine communication that keeps a TCP connection open for bi-directional passing of information. The websocket is a connection between two computers. The connection can be used to either send or receive information from either computer. The websocket can be configured as a server or client. A websocket server listens for requests and returns a result based on the input. The server can also function as a client by sending information without a specific request.

Wow! Can’t believe this content is free. I’ve been trying to build an NHS Consultation Assistant but I’m struggling to debug my code and so I’ve decided to take a step back and fully understand websockets. Thank you so much for this and the free course on your website!

Thank you, nerdy Tony Hawk. This was super helpful, and exactly what i needed!

Thank you for this video, it was really helpful!

Thanks so much for this video! It was very helpful. I am now wondering, how could you introduce authentication in order to connect to the websocket server? e.g. as you would with a Bearer Token when using RESTful APIs. Thanks a gain! Cheers!

is there a reason you nest the uri within a function rather than being declared outside as a variable that can easier be visually identified when needing to be changed? (say going from dev to production)

if my server also has to handle api calls, how can I combine that? I know how to asnyc it, but my issue is the server IP. Locally I use fast api and a ws endpoint. But once deployed with https protocol, the ws endpoint no longer works

This works fine. But each client has its own socket with the server. Is there a way to make it like all clients see the changes other client does on server?
For example having them connected to the same socket, or server sends info via each socket once DB changes?

can you make a tutoriel—if possible—on sending HTML over websocket without js

I know it’s a stupid question but aren’t websockets requiring internet to work?

[chenbruce]

thanks for such comprehensive sharing!!
I have one question, are there any suggested solutions that allow me to deploy my websocket server to let external devices access it through link like wss:// ?

[AnamitraDey-vw]

all this could be. done with just an http server, dont think the websocket usecase was truly explored
