[BETA] MTGox websocket API, testers wanted

Hi,

There's a new MTGox websocket API. This API works by subscription to channels, and each channel is represented by an UUID.

You can connect via: ws://websocket.mtgox.com/mtgox

The websocket will subscribe you to some channels automatically:

dbf1dee9-4f2e-4a08-8cb7-748919a71b21: trades (each time a trade happens, you get something here)
d5f06780-30a8-4a48-a2f8-7ed181b4a13f: the mtgox ticker (lots of updates, with often the same data)
24e67e0d-1cad-4cc0-9e7a-f8523ef460fe: depth information in realtime (price + amount + type... type=1=Ask, type=2=Bid)

Additionally each user has a "own" channel which streams informations about orders (new order, deleted order, etc) and trades only the user's trades).

Each message is a JSON-encoded object, with at least "op" element. The "op" element contains the operation to be done (for outgoing messages), or the type of message (for incoming messages).

Possible outgoing commands:

unsubscribe Stop receiving messages from a channel (parameter "channel")

Example incoming data:

Ticker

Code:

{"channel":"d5f06780-30a8-4a48-a2f8-7ed181b4a13f","op":"private","origin":"broadcast","private":"ticker","ticker":{"buy":0.9515,"high":1,"low":0.91,"sell":0.9697,"vol":34349}}

This is still under tests, and any element of this websocket API may change anytime.
