How to Filter Out Events During Websocket Initialization?

[mkmoisen]

Hi @fbradyirl

How do we filter events during the websocket initialization, such that we only receive relevant events like messages:created or attachmentActions:created ?

I see in this code here:

            async with connect as _websocket:
                self.websocket = _websocket
                logger.info("WebSocket Opened.")
                msg = {'id': str(uuid.uuid4()),
                       'type': 'authorization',
                       'data': {'token': 'Bearer ' + self.access_token}}
                await self.websocket.send(json.dumps(msg))

This doesn't include a filter option, so it receives all events.

For example it even includes events when users are typing, which I would rather not receive and have to expend cycles processing.

It would be great to have these filtered out on Webex's server side before they ever hit our application.

The javascript JDK apparently has a way to only listen for specific events.

Thank you.
