+# Websockets
+
+The API has one WebSocket endpoint used to provide a stream of realtime data.  The URL is in this format:
+
+```
+wss://api.metro.net/ws/{agency_id}/{endpoint}/{route_codes (optional)}
+```
+
+## Parameters
+
+__agency_id (str)__
+
+The agencyID is found in the GTFS-schedule `agency.txt` files.
+
+Values:
+- `LACMTA` (Metro Bus)
+- `LACMTA_Rail` (Metro Rail)
+    
+__endpoint (str)__
+
+The type of GTFS-realtime data to send.
+
+Values:
+- `vehicle_positions`
+- `trip_updates`
+    
+__route_codes (str, optional)__
+
+A comma-separated list of route codes to filter updates. If not provided, updates for all routes are sent.
+
+Route codes are the definitive labels for each of the lines, minus HASTUS version numbers and separated from their "sister" lines.
+
+## Response
+
+The WebSocket endpoint sends updates every 3 seconds.
+
+### Success
+
+The WebSocket endpoint sends updates in the following format:
+
+{
+    "id": "vehicle_id",
+    "vehicle": {
+        "trip": {
+            "route_id": "route_code",
+            ...
+        },
+        ...
+    },
+    "route_code": "route_code",
+    ...
+}
+
+Each message from the WebSocket contains data for a single vehicle.
+
+### Error
+
+If an error occurs while processing updates, the WebSocket endpoint sends an error message in the following format:
+
+"Error: error_message"
