There is a site with websocket. Is it possible through Selenium to read messages from this websocket?

Question

selenium

There is nothing about websockets in the Selenium API. In theory, you can try to override socket.onmessage, but maybe there is some simpler and more ready-made solution?

Answer 1

Selenium etc. "engines" means work at the DOM level (HTML), and consider the network directly (HTTP or WebSockets) as "bad practice" if you are already using the "engine".
