Websocket guidance needed about quart HOT 5 CLOSED

Does this help https://medium.com/@pgjones/websockets-in-quart-f2067788d1ee ?

As you describe what you'd like to do, I think you could stream the response, for example have you looked at Server Sent Events? I think a websocket would be better if you wanted continuous two way communication between the client and server.
Have you also looked at the aiohttp client example, as it is the best way to fetch the data.

This is a rough guess as to what you want, I've not tried it but the basic idea is hopefully clear,

import aiohttp
from quart_tutorial import ServerSentEvent  # Pseudo code
from quart import request

@app.route('/')
async def index():
    param = request.args.get('param', 'default_value')

    async def send_results_as_fetched():
        async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
            for url in urls_to_fetch(param):
                async with session.get(url) as response:
                    data = await response.json()
                    yield ServerSentEvent(data)

    return send_results_as_fetched(), {
        'Content-Type': 'text/event-stream',
        'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
        'Transfer-Encoding': 'chunked',
    }

var es = new EventSource('/');
es.onmessage = function (event) {
  ....

Very much so, thanks for that!

Hi, i don't know if i should open a new issue or just continue this thread :D
I'm completely new to WebSockets and Flask and Quart and Async python programming hence my extreme headache after 3 days of non stop trying to figure on how to send websocket data from a trigger.
I have an endpoint with a websocket client connecting to a Quart server and it works nicely with websockets functions. What i want is being able to send websocket messages when i call an http url.
I the end i want to control that websocket client device by doing api calls on a quart app.
As deep as i read the documentation i can't make sens of how to do this. Any tips ?

@trashcluster It isn't clear to me what you are asking, nor what you want to achieve. If by websocket message you mean JSON encoded data, then you can send that either via a WebSocket message or a request body.

Probably be better to continue the conversation here.
