I don't know guys how you can be using this new socket.io via the websocket interface...

I get my ID nicely from https://socketio.mtgox.com/socket.io/1/ but then after I connect my websocket lib to ws://socketio.mtgox.com:80/socket.io/1/websocket/XXXXX - it just sends me "7:::1+0" and disconnects immediately after that.

Am I the only one who has this problem?

Works for me. Sounds like an issue on your side.

But which language / websocket library do you use?

I tried with latest Chrome and this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pfdhoblngboilpfeibdedpjgfnlcodoo
.... and also tried with websocket package from Go - and they both disconnect me immediately after sending "7:::1+0"

Let me say here that the socket.io/websocket feed has been rather stable in late times. I'm hoping this has nothing to do with the fact that trading volume is declining, but is due to Magicaltux making things better. In that case: thanks, Magicaltux and/or mtgox team.

I'm using the streaming feed on my website. If anyone needs a working example feel free to take a look. (http://BitcoinTitan.com)

socket.io supports secure connections (https, wss transports). That's what I use in ICBIT trading platform, so I would be quite surprised if that's dangerous Wink

ok, I wasn't aware of that - I just connect to websocket.mtgox.com at port 80.

As far as I know there is no possibility to do orders over the websocket... Would be pretty dangerous too, as it isn't SSL encrypted.
But you can subscribe to your "private channel" to be informed about your orders. Use getKey.php to get its name.

Is it possible to query my open trades and/or cancel an order or at least all orders? With the websocket API, that is?
Didnt see any hint that this is possible..

But then I dont remember to have ever seen the commands to post orders via websocket neither?

Is the websocket for "reading" only, like making graphs from the data?

edit:
So, get data from the websocket, and exectue/cancel orders via "API version 1" then?

Thanks... I changed channel to type and subscribe to mtgox.subscribe and now it works.

The "data" field seems to be the message I intended to submit, but the subscribe fails with "Unknown command". Any help would be appreciated.

my subscribtions (raw socket.io messages over websocket - no explicit frames borders) are:
   "4:::{"op":"mtgox.subscribe","type":"trades"}"
   "4:::{"op":"mtgox.subscribe","type":"ticker"}"
   "4:::{"op":"mtgox.subscribe","type":"depth"}"

I'm trying to connect via the SocketIO Ruby gem. When I try to subscribe to the trades channel the following string is passed to the server: ""\x003:::{\"channel\":\"dbf1dee9-4f2e-4a08-8cb7-748919a71b21\",\"op\":\"subscribe\"}\xFF". The server response with a json message: {"op":"remark","success":false,"message":"Unknown command","debug":{"op":"client","uuid":"5a1f3b8f-1e03-462b-bd38-e463bb39ff2e","data":{"channel":"dbf1dee9-4f2e-4a08-8cb7-748919a71b21","op":"subscribe"}}}

The "data" field seems to be the message I intended to submit, but the subscribe fails with "Unknown command". Any help would be appreciated.

havent seen the socket.io part fail yet.

How come you say such thing when such sites as:
http://www.btccharts.com/
http://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/

have a connection but there's no data received, any explanation for this?

I have the same problem using the websocket from my C++/Qt-bot - sometimes, usually after some hours working correctly, there is no more data coming in through the socket (but the connection isn't closed by the remote host).
So I check for incoming data and if there isn't anything for 3 minutes, I close the connection and reconnect. Afterwards it's working without problems again. Strange anyway Huh

I see data

Quote

{"channel":"24e67e0d-1cad-4cc0-9e7a-f8523ef460fe","op":"private","origin":"broadcast","private":"depth","depth":{"price":"5.80025","type":2,"type_str":"bid","volume":"0","price_int":"580025","volume_int":"0","item":"BTC","currency":"USD","now":"1326266472912980","total_volume_int":"19811387"}}

why exists messages with volume=0 ?
is this rounding errors in MtGox's guts or users posts such orders to exchange ?

+++ existence of "total_volume_int" - is wonderful

request to "https://socketio.mtgox.com/socket.io/1" doesnt respond (net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED)
Is URL valid?
something happened.. but WHAT happened?..

UPD1:
P.S.
I wrote to Mt.Gox support issue: open some technical twitter channel with info: what? when? how long?
IRC-channel is just flame - no info, no logs, no history, no search..

UPD2 (2:28 AM):
its working now

yeah, I see this, too from time to time. also a lot of times the connection setup works fine, but there's just no data flow. mtgox datastreaming is on and off on most levels as far as I can tell.

supposedly socket.io is some typical bay-area shit and there's a big rewrite pull request pending for a while now that could fix the issue mtgox is suffering from.

my latest "kind-of-official" info is that the socket.io server is now restarted every 2 hours to mitigate effects of this (and potentially other) issue(s).

I for one am preparing to survive using api requests (switched form api/0 to api/1)

socket.io is just a tool to negotiate a transport layer and keepalive. one of the possible transports is websocket. this means you usually use socket.io PLUS websocket (at least that's how I do it).

I'm guessing a connected websocket with no data flowing means some problem in magicaltux' backend.

any insights appreciated.
