Today we released our new websocket playground application. This feature is intended to help developers explore, test and familiarize themselves with our API’s. All of our current datasets, Crypto Exchange, NFL and NBA are available along with their respective channels.
On the playground you can construct requests to our API easily and see responses in real-time. For requests that require payment we display a QR code you can either click on to open your Lightning wallet or scan with your mobile phone.
Our goal is to make it as easy as possible to build on our platform. If you’re using Node.js, you should also take a look at your JavaScript client library. By using our playground to explore our API and the JS library to develop your application you are able to start building in a matter of minutes.
