btcd Websockets Example

This example shows how to use the rpcclient package to connect to a btcd RPC server using TLS-secured websockets, register for block connected and block disconnected notifications, and get the current block count.

This example also sets a timer to shutdown the client after 10 seconds to demonstrate clean shutdown.

Running the Example

The first step is to use go get to download and install the rpcclient package:

$ go get github.com/btcsuite/btcd/rpcclient

Next, modify the main.go source to specify the correct RPC username and password for the RPC server:

	User: "yourrpcuser",
	Pass: "yourrpcpass",

Finally, navigate to the example's directory and run it with:

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/btcsuite/btcd/rpcclient/examples/btcdwebsockets
$ go run *.go
