## Overview

The Rdio Scanner WebSocket API provides real-time bidirectional communication between the server and connected clients. Messages are transmitted as JSON arrays with a command code, payload, and optional flags.

### Access Restrictions

⚠️ **Important:** The WebSocket API is a proprietary service provided exclusively by Saubeo Solutions:
- Available on **Saubeo Solutions' hosted service** for native applications and integrated web applications
- Available on **self-hosted deployments** with a valid license agreement
- See [API_ACCESS_POLICY.md](../API_ACCESS_POLICY.md) for full terms

The **HTTP REST API** is fully available under GPL terms for all uses.

---

## Connection

### Establishing a WebSocket Connection

```
ws://[host]:[port]/
wss://[host]:[port]/  (TLS)
```

### Connection Flow

1. Client initiates WebSocket connection to the server
2. Server upgrades the connection using gorilla/websocket
3. Server waits for configuration before registering the client
4. Client sends `VER` (version) and `CFG` (config request) commands
5. Upon receiving `CFG` response, client is registered and can receive live updates

### Connection Parameters

- **Read Buffer Size:** 1024 bytes
- **Write Buffer Size:** 1024 bytes
- **Read Timeout (Pong Deadline):** 60 seconds
- **Ping Period:** 54 seconds (90% of pong wait)
- **Write Timeout:** 10 seconds

---

## Message Format

### Structure

All WebSocket messages are JSON arrays with the following structure:

```json
[command, payload, flag]
```

- **command** (string, required): Three-letter command code
- **payload** (any, optional): Command-specific data
- **flag** (string, optional): Additional flags or metadata

### Key Convention

📤 **CLIENT → SERVER:** Messages you send to request data or perform actions  
📥 **SERVER → CLIENT:** Messages the server sends in response or as broadcasts

### Example Messages

```javascript
// CLIENT → SERVER: Request a call
["CAL", "12345", "DL"]

// SERVER → CLIENT: Send configuration
["CFG", {...config object...}]

// CLIENT → SERVER: Simple command with no payload
["VER"]
```

## Message Flow Examples

### Example 1: Complete Connection Sequence

```javascript
// CLIENT → SERVER: Request version
CLIENT SENDS:   ["VER"]
SERVER SENDS:   ["VER", "7.0.0"]

// CLIENT → SERVER: Request configuration
CLIENT SENDS:   ["CFG"]
SERVER SENDS:   ["CFG", {
  "systems": {...},
  "groups": {...},
  "tags": {...},
  ...
}]

// After CFG received, client is registered and can receive live calls
SERVER SENDS:   ["CAL", {...call data...}]  // Live broadcast
SERVER SENDS:   ["CAL", {...call data...}]  // Live broadcast
SERVER SENDS:   ["LSC", 42]                 // Listeners count update
```

---

### Example 2: Requesting and Playing a Specific Call

```javascript
// CLIENT → SERVER: Request call playback
CLIENT SENDS:   ["CAL", "12345", "PY"]

// SERVER → CLIENT: Send call data with play flag
SERVER SENDS:   ["CAL", {
  "id": 12345,
  "audio": Uint8Array,
  "dateTime": 1705372800000,
  ...
}, "PY"]

// Client receives the flag "PY" and should play the audio
```

---

### Example 3: Searching with Filters

```javascript
// CLIENT → SERVER: Search for recent police dispatch calls
CLIENT SENDS:   ["LCL", {
  "offset": 0,
  "limit": 50,
  "sort": -1,
  "filters": {
    "system": 1,
    "talkgroup": 101
  }
}]

// SERVER → CLIENT: Send filtered results
SERVER SENDS:   ["LCL", {
  "results": [
    { "id": 12345, "system": {...}, "talkgroup": {...}, ... },
    { "id": 12344, "system": {...}, "talkgroup": {...}, ... },
    ...
  ],
  "count": 250,
  "offset": 0,
  "limit": 50
}]
```

---

### Example 4: Authentication with PIN

```javascript
// SERVER → CLIENT: Server requires PIN (restricted access)
SERVER SENDS:   ["PIN", null]

// CLIENT → SERVER: Send authentication PIN
CLIENT SENDS:   ["PIN", "1234"]

// SERVER → CLIENT: Authentication successful, send config
SERVER SENDS:   ["CFG", {...restricted config...}]
```

---

### Example 5: Setting Up Livefeed Filter

```javascript
// CLIENT → SERVER: Subscribe to specific talkgroups
CLIENT SENDS:   ["LFM", {
  "1": {
    "2": {
      "101": true,
      "102": true
    }
  }
}]

// SERVER → CLIENT: Acknowledgment (implicit, no response)
// Now client will only receive CAL events for System 1, Group 2, TGs 101-102

// SERVER SENDS (filtered):   ["CAL", {...call...}]  // Only if matches filter
// SERVER SENDS (no):         ["CAL", {...call...}]  // Filtered out
```

---

## Client Event Handlers

### Connection Events

#### onopen
Fired when the WebSocket connection is successfully established.

```javascript
websocket.onopen = () => {
  console.log("Connected to Rdio Scanner");
  
  // Send initial commands
  websocket.send(JSON.stringify(["VER"]));
  websocket.send(JSON.stringify(["CFG"]));
};
```

---

#### onmessage
Fired when the server sends a message. Parse the message array and dispatch to appropriate handlers.

```javascript
websocket.onmessage = (event) => {
  try {
    const message = JSON.parse(event.data);
    const [command, payload, flag] = message;
    
    switch (command) {
      case "CAL":  // 📥 Call broadcast or response
        handleNewCall(payload, flag);
        break;
        
      case "CFG":  // 📥 Configuration
        handleConfigUpdate(payload);
        break;
        
      case "VER":  // 📥 Version response
        console.log("Server version:", payload);
        break;
        
      case "LSC":  // 📥 Listeners count
        handleListenersCount(payload);
        break;
        
      case "PIN":  // 📥 PIN required
        promptForPIN();
        break;
        
      case "XPR":  // 📥 Session expired
        handleSessionExpired();
        break;
        
      default:
        console.log("Unknown command:", command);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.warn("Invalid message received:", error);
  }
};
```

---

#### onclose
Fired when the connection is closed.

```javascript
websocket.onclose = (event) => {
  console.log("Disconnected from server");
  console.log("Close code:", event.code);  // 1000 = normal, other = error
  
  // Attempt reconnection if not a normal close
  if (event.code !== 1000) {
    setTimeout(() => reconnectWebsocket(), 2000);
  }
};
```

---

#### onerror
Fired when an error occurs.

```javascript
websocket.onerror = (error) => {
  console.error("WebSocket error:", error);
};
```

### Advanced: Filtered Livefeed Example

```javascript
class FilteredLivefeeds {
  constructor(client) {
    this.client = client;
    this.filters = {};
  }

  // 📤 Subscribe to System 1, all talkgroups in Group 2
  subscribeToSystemGroup(systemId, groupId) {
    if (!this.filters[systemId]) {
      this.filters[systemId] = {};
    }
    this.filters[systemId][groupId] = { '*': true };
    this.updateFilters();
  }

  // 📤 Subscribe to specific talkgroup
  subscribeToTalkgroup(systemId, groupId, talkgroupId) {
    if (!this.filters[systemId]) {
      this.filters[systemId] = {};
    }
    if (!this.filters[systemId][groupId]) {
      this.filters[systemId][groupId] = {};
    }
    this.filters[systemId][groupId][talkgroupId] = true;
    this.updateFilters();
  }

  // 📤 Unsubscribe from talkgroup
  unsubscribeFromTalkgroup(systemId, groupId, talkgroupId) {
    if (this.filters[systemId]?.[groupId]) {
      delete this.filters[systemId][groupId][talkgroupId];
      this.updateFilters();
    }
  }

  updateFilters() {
    this.client.send(['LFM', this.filters]);
  }
}

// Usage
const livefeeds = new FilteredLivefeeds(client);
livefeeds.subscribeToTalkgroup(1, 2, 101);  // System 1, Group 2, TG 101
livefeeds.subscribeToTalkgroup(1, 2, 102);  // System 1, Group 2, TG 102
```

## Error Handling

### Common Issues

#### 1. Invalid JSON
**Problem:** Message is not valid JSON  
**Server:** Logs warning: `"Invalid control message received"`

```javascript
// ❌ Wrong
websocket.send("VER");

// ✅ Correct
websocket.send(JSON.stringify(["VER"]));
```

---

#### 2. Session Expired
**Problem:** 📥 Received `["XPR", null]`

```javascript
if (command === 'XPR') {
  console.log('Session expired, reconnecting...');
  this.disconnect();
  setTimeout(() => this.connect(), 1000);
}
```

---

#### 3. Maximum Clients Reached
**Problem:** Connection is immediately closed  
**Solution:** Retry after delay or check max client limit

```javascript
websocket.onclose = (event) => {
  if (event.code !== 1000) {
    setTimeout(() => this.connect(), 5000);  // Backoff
  }
};
```

---

#### 4. Authentication Required
**Problem:** 📥 Received `["PIN", null]`

```javascript
if (command === 'PIN' && payload === null) {
  // Prompt user for PIN
  const pin = prompt('Enter your PIN:');
  client.send(['PIN', pin]);  // 📤 Send PIN
}
```

---

#### 5. Read/Write Timeouts
**Problem:** No pong received within 60 seconds  
**Cause:** Network latency, firewall, or dead connection

```javascript
// Server sends pings every 54 seconds
// You should auto-respond with pong (most WebSocket libraries do this)
```

---

## Protocol Details

### Keep-Alive (Ping/Pong)

The server sends WebSocket PING frames every 54 seconds to detect dead connections. Most WebSocket implementations automatically respond with PONG.

**Server Side:**
```go
pingPeriod := pongWait / 10 * 9  // 54 seconds
pongWait := 60 * time.Second

ticker.NewTicker(pingPeriod)
client.Conn.WriteMessage(websocket.PingMessage, nil)
```

**Client Side:**
```javascript
// Automatically handled by browser WebSocket API
// No action needed unless using low-level library
```

---

### Message Serialization

Messages use a compact array format for bandwidth efficiency:

```go
// Server Go code
type Message struct {
  Command any
  Payload any
  Flag    any
}

func (message *Message) ToJson() ([]byte, error) {
  str := []any{message.Command}
  
  if message.Payload != nil && message.Payload != "" {
    str = append(str, message.Payload)
  }
  
  if message.Flag != nil && message.Flag != "" {
    str = append(str, message.Flag)
  }
  
  return json.Marshal(str)
}

// Produces:
// ["VER"]                    (command only)
// ["CFG", {...}]             (command + payload)
// ["CAL", {...}, "DL"]       (command + payload + flag)
```

---

### Admin Configuration WebSocket

For administrative functions, use a separate WebSocket endpoint with token authentication:

```
wss://[host]:[port]/api/admin/config?token=[token]
```

**Flow:**
```javascript
// 1. Connect to admin config endpoint
const adminWs = new WebSocket('wss://localhost:3000/api/admin/config?token=eyJ...');

// 2. Send token on open
adminWs.onopen = () => {
  adminWs.send(token);
};

// 3. Receive config updates
adminWs.onmessage = (event) => {
  const config = JSON.parse(event.data);
  // Admin configuration received
};
```

## Performance Considerations

- **Max Clients:** Configurable; typical default is 1000
- **Message Queue per Client:** 8192 messages
- **Read Buffer:** 1024 bytes
- **Write Buffer:** 1024 bytes
- **Keepalive Interval:** 54 seconds
- **Connection Timeout:** 60 seconds (pong wait)

### Optimization Tips

1. **Livefeed Filtering** - Use `LFM` to reduce message volume
2. **Batch Requests** - Don't spam individual `CAL` requests
3. **Limit Search Results** - Use `offset` and `limit` in `LCL` commands
4. **Connection Pooling** - Use a single connection, don't reconnect frequently
5. **Message Throttling** - If client receives many messages, process in batches
