Parsing Websocket Data in PHP

arsh8singhs · October 2017

I have implemented the Websocket in my laravel code and I am trying to get real-time data for my subscribed stocks. But I am receiving a BLOB object which I am not able to parse in anyway. Following is an example of the kind of data I am receiving (I have set websocket's binary type to arraybuffer for this example):

0,1,0,44,0,81,74,1,0,2,118,220,0,0,0,5,0,2,118,125,0,0,0,80,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,118,35,0,2,118,220,0,2,118,35,0,2,118,220

I have seen some videos on youtube where people have received data in proper JSON format.

I'd like to know how can I get the real-time data in readable format in PHP.

Thanks.

Hi,
Websocket data is provided in binary format.
You will have to parse and make it a usable like this https://github.com/rainmattertech/pykiteconnect/blob/master/kiteconnect/__init__.py

Look for _parse_binary method.

What is the correct "binaryType" we need to set for the PHP implementation of the websocket?

blob or arrayBuffer

Also, there is a code block above which there are comments:

"parsing index packets" and "parsing non index packets". What is the difference between these two? index and non-index packets.

@sujith I have deposited Rs. 2000 in my account but I am not seeing the same in the the https://api.kite.trade/user/margins/equity API. What is the reason for that?
