Connecting with Postman

In this guide, we are using the Postman application to connect to MLink via WebSocket.

You can create a WebSocket request from the sidebar in Postman.

1. Select New > WebSocket to open a raw WebSocket request in a new tab. You can also select New > Socket.IO to open a Socket.IO request in a new tab. (In the Postman desktop app, you can also select ⌘+N or Ctrl+N.)



2. Enter the WebSocket server URL. A WebSocket URL begins with ws:// or wss://. Ensure to replace <token> with appropriate Authorization token.



3. Enter the Message to be requested for streaming.



4. Select Connect.


5. After clicking the Connect button, there will be a handshake response which will correspond to proper connection.



6. Once the connection is established, proceed by clicking on the Send button to dispatch the request. Upon successful execution, anticipate receiving a response similar to the following example.

To disconnect your WebSocket request's connection, select Disconnect.
