Sending keep-alive packet bitcoin

0 votes

I want to send a keep-alive packet in ruby on rails. I am using the following code for this:

ws = WebSocket::Client::Simple.connect 'wss://bitcoin.toshi.io/'


ws.on :message do |msg|

  rawJson = msg.data

  message_response = JSON.parse(rawJson)

end


ws.on :open do

  ws.send "{\"subscribe\":\"blocks\"}"

end


ws.on :close do |e|

  puts "WEBSOCKET HAS CLOSED #{e}"

  exit 1

end


ws.on :error do |e|

  puts "WEBSOCKET ERROR #{e}"

end

But the connect gets close. Cant keep it alive. Any solution?

You can use Websocket Eventmachine Client (https://github.com/imanel/websocket-eventmachine-client) gem to send hearbeat:

require 'websocket-eventmachine-client'


EM.run do
  ws = WebSocket::EventMachine::Client.connect(:uri => 'wss://bitcoin.toshi.io/')
  puts ws.comm_inactivity_timeout
  ws.onopen do
    puts "Connected"
  end


  ws.onmessage do |msg, type|
    puts "Received message: #{msg}"
  end


  ws.onclose do |code, reason|
    puts "Disconnected with status code: #{code}"
  end


  EventMachine.add_periodic_timer(15) do
    ws.send "{}"
  end
end
