.. automodule:: websockets.client

Opening a connection
--------------------

.. autofunction:: connect(uri, *, create_protocol=None, logger=None, compression="deflate", origin=None, extensions=None, subprotocols=None, extra_headers=None, user_agent_header="Python/x.y.z websockets/X.Y", open_timeout=10, ping_interval=20, ping_timeout=20, close_timeout=10, max_size=2 ** 20, max_queue=2 ** 5, read_limit=2 ** 16, write_limit=2 ** 16, **kwds)
    :async:

.. autofunction:: unix_connect(path, uri="ws://localhost/", *, create_protocol=None, logger=None, compression="deflate", origin=None, extensions=None, subprotocols=None, extra_headers=None, user_agent_header="Python/x.y.z websockets/X.Y", open_timeout=10, ping_interval=20, ping_timeout=20, close_timeout=10, max_size=2 ** 20, max_queue=2 ** 5, read_limit=2 ** 16, write_limit=2 ** 16, **kwds)

Using a connection
------------------

.. autoclass:: WebSocketClientProtocol(*, logger=None, origin=None, extensions=None, subprotocols=None, extra_headers=None, user_agent_header="Python/x.y.z websockets/X.Y", ping_interval=20, ping_timeout=20, close_timeout=10, max_size=2 ** 20, max_queue=2 ** 5, read_limit=2 ** 16, write_limit=2 ** 16)

    .. automethod:: recv

    .. automethod:: send

    .. automethod:: close

    .. automethod:: wait_closed

    .. automethod:: ping

    .. automethod:: pong

    WebSocket connection objects also provide these attributes:

    .. autoattribute:: id

    .. autoattribute:: logger

    .. autoproperty:: local_address

    .. autoproperty:: remote_address

    .. autoproperty:: open

    .. autoproperty:: closed

    .. autoattribute:: latency

    The following attributes are available after the opening handshake,
    once the WebSocket connection is open:

    .. autoattribute:: path

    .. autoattribute:: request_headers

    .. autoattribute:: response_headers

    .. autoattribute:: subprotocol

    The following attributes are available after the closing handshake,
    once the WebSocket connection is closed:

    .. autoproperty:: close_code

    .. autoproperty:: close_reason
