Well this is a 5 min on-top-of-the-knee script that will print every transaction received.
Check the API for all the available properties and try to change the code as you intend.
Good luck! Wink

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

I've had a couple of problems in the past when implementing that script and couldn't figure out what was causing it.
Instead I've found a similar approach, which seems to work well, you can try it out.

Code:

function initWebSocket()
{
	//	init blockchain websocket (activity, blocks)
	var blockchain = new WebSocket('ws://ws.blockchain.info/inv');
	
	blockchain.onerror = function (error){ console.log('connection.onerror',error); };
	
	blockchain.onopen = function () 
	{
		blockchain.send( JSON.stringify( {"op":"unconfirmed_sub"} ) );	//	subscribe to uncofirmed activity
		blockchain.send( JSON.stringify( {"op":"blocks_sub"} ) );		//	subscribe to new blocks
	};
 
	blockchain.onmessage = function (message) 
	{
		var response = JSON.parse(message.data);
		
		var date = new Date(0);
		date.setUTCSeconds( response.x.time );
		
		if( response.op == "utx")
		{
			var amount = 0;
			
			for(var i=0;i				amount += response.x.out[i].value;
			
			//	amount is in satoshi
			//	1 BTC = 100,000,000 Satoshi (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/activity)
			response.amount = amount / 100000000;
			response.type = TYPE_TRANSACTION;
			response.index = index++;
		}
		else if( response.op == "block" )
		{
			response.type = TYPE_BLOCK;
			response.amount = Math.round( response.x.height / 10000 );
		}
		
		if( DEBUG ) 
			console.log( response.op, response );
		
		response.date = date;

	};

Thank you for your response! I'm really a newbie, so I tried copying & pasting the code on your github into an html file, but it stuck loading. I also tried putting your code into mine, but that didn't work either. How should I implement your code?

Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it.

Their cloud flare might be interfering causing the circuit to break. Why can't you just reload the page on an error?

Because I want to have a subscription to all new blocks (similar to how they display on their homepage). I'm positive that it isn't cloudflare that stops me, it's blockchain.info's servers that think I'm not there anymore (because they haven't heard anything for a while).

Hi,

I'm trying to get the blockchain.info websocket api to connect for subscribing to blocks. I basically took the code off http://www.websocket.org/echo.html and plugged in blockchain.info parameters. It works, but I'm finding that after a while it will automatically disconnect. How do I keep the session alive?
Here's my code:
