Authenticating Websockets

When it comes to authenticating websockets the token can be included only in the following manner:

wss://streaming.bitquery.io/graphql?token=ory*at*.. with the token attached to the URL. The request should include only two headers:

Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: graphql-ws
Content-Type: application/json

Refer this this link for postman example of how to use OAuth with websockets.

Example: connecting with graphql-ws (JavaScript)​

Pass the OAuth token in the connection URL and use the graphql-ws subprotocol:

import { createClient } from "graphql-ws";

const client = createClient({
  url: "wss://streaming.bitquery.io/graphql?token=ory_at_YOUR_TOKEN",
  // Bitquery expects the token in the URL (not an Authorization header) for WebSockets.
});
