Websocket Feeds
The Instamint websocket allows STOMP clients to subscribe to feeds that provide notification of events. The websocket is accessible via http://ws.instamint.network subscribe to /feed/kafka.
Please note that websocket channel names are subject to change
Currently the events that are supported include:
Event | Fires when.. |
---|---|
Mint | An asset is attempted to minted, when minting is successful or fails |
Auction | An auction is created, closed or when a bid arrives or ask is adjusted |
Trade | An asset is sold at an auction |
Transfer | An asset is transferred |

Websocket messages confirming minting and creation of an auction
The below Python code establishes a STOMP-based websocket client that listens to events and prints them to the terminal
