how to close the websocket manually?

Rekha

How can I close the websocket manually? I have a script in which after the market hours , I wish to close the websocket. Can on_close() be called manually?

You can use stop and close methods whenever you want to close the websocket.

Thanks Srijan. the first link suggest that stop() should be used in on_close(). What are the affects if I use it outside on_close() ?? How does it really differ from close()

You can call stop method to stop websocket connection, as per your requirement outside of on_close as well. close event is called when websocket closes due to any reason, if on_close method callback is assigned.
