Simple example of subscribing to Rancher change events

Setup:
npm install ws

Create an API key in Rancher and start up with:
node socket.js address.of.rancher:8080 access_key secret_key project_id

@arkka The UI does use token auth, but basic with API keys works too.. They python library probably just doesn't support parsing ws://user:pass@host/path and turning that into the Authorization header ("Authorization: Basic " + base64encode("user:pass")).

?include= is sort of a hack put in for/used by the UI and is explicitly undocumented because it will probably be removed in a future API revision.

There is one other event name (eventNames=service.kubernetes.change) and that's about it.

Exactly that's the problem @vincent99. It's seems the python library for websocket-client did not support it, and using base64 as my authorization token on header fix everything.

Thank you 👍

I am using rancher 2.11 and after I get a few pings back from rancher the websocket closes with error code 1006. Any ideas?

I accessing the websocket from a node.js server
