Specification

Connecting

To connect to our websocket start by establishing a connection to wss://listen.moe/gateway_v2 or wss://listen.moe/kpop/gateway_v2 depending which platform you want to retrieve data from.

Received OP Codes

OP 0 - Received welcome and heartbeat interval
OP 1 - Received playback information

Sending OP Codes

OP 9 - Send heartbeat to keep connection alive

Heartbeating

After connecting, the websocket is going to send you a { op: 0 }, which means the websocket is asking you to prepare the heartbeat and it's interval to keep the connection alive. The data should look like this:

{
	"op": 0,
	"d": {
		"message": "Welcome to LISTEN.moe! Enjoy your stay!",
		"heartbeat": 45000
	}
}

A heartbeat is sent via { op: 9 } and acknowledged by getting { op: 10 } returned.

Receiving data

Only the d property of OP 0 and OP 1 contain actual data received from the WebSocket. The t property of OP 1 is to identify the data received, it can be one of the following:

TRACK_UPDATE
TRACK_UPDATE_REQUEST

Every time the current song changes you'll receive data on the WebSocket. Data contains the current song as well as the past 2 songs played, and a variety of information about it such as artist, album, source if any, duration, and if it's a favorite song or not depending if you authenticated or not.

An example of OP 1 data looks like this:

		"song": {
