Realtime Data over WebSocket

After creating a Service User within the Chronicall UI, you will be given an authentication key.
Anytime a request is made to the API, an authentication key must be present.

By having the authorization key present, you will be able to access everything that the Service User is set up in Chronicall to have access to.

Note: For this feature, you must be updated to version 4.0.9 or newer.

Arguments
ChronicallServerPath	The IP address and Port of the Chronicall Server.

Response

If a successful request is made, then the websocket will connect and will start receiving value update messages. There are several different types of value update messages that can be received. See examples of each type under the "Metric Values" section.

  "key": {
    "metricId": "K0FLAEB6",
    "categoryValue": "John Doe(481)"

  }
