## WebSocket Connection

### Subscribing and Unsubscribing

To subscribe to channels, send a JSON-RPC message in the following format:


```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": "<your-request-id>",
  "method": "v1/subscribe",
  "params": { "channels": ["channel1", "channel2"] }
}
```

This will respond with:


```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": "<your-request-id>",
  "method": "v1/subscribe",
  "result": { 
    "status": "subscribed",
    "channels": ["channel1", "channel2"] 
  }
}
```

To unsubscribe from channels, send a JSON-RPC message in the following format:

  "id": "<your-request-id>",
  "method": "v1/unsubscribe",
  "params": { "channels": ["channel1", "channel2"] }
}
```

This will respond with:


```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": "<your-request-id>",
  "method": "v1/unsubscribe",
  "result": { 
    "status": "unsubscribed",
    "channels": ["channel1", "channel2"] 
  }
}
```
