okx-dex-ws

name	okx-dex-ws
description	Use this skill when the user mentions 'onchainos ws', 'ws start', 'ws poll', 'ws stop', 'ws channels', 'ws session', 'ws channel-info', 'idle-timeout', 'idle timeout', 'WebSocket channels', 'WS频道', or asks about managing WebSocket sessions/会话管理. Also use when writing a custom WebSocket script/脚本/bot for real-time on-chain data. Covers: onchainos ws CLI commands (start/poll/stop/list/channels/channel-info), session lifecycle, idle-timeout configuration, and all 9 DEX WebSocket channels (price, candle, trades, price-info, signals, tracker, meme scanning).

Onchain OS DEX WebSocket — Unified Skill

Two ways to consume real-time DEX data:

1. CLI (onchainos ws) — start a background session, poll events incrementally. Best for monitoring and agent-driven workflows.
2. Script — write a custom WebSocket client in Python/Node/Rust. Best for bots and custom logic.

Pre-flight Checks

Read ../okx-agentic-wallet/_shared/preflight.md. If that file does not exist, read _shared/preflight.md instead.

Prerequisites

This skill references ws-protocol.md files from okx-dex-market, okx-dex-token, okx-dex-signal, and okx-dex-trenches. If a referenced file is not found, the corresponding skill may not be installed — inform the user and suggest installing the missing skill from the onchainos-skills plugin.

Related Workflows

When one of the following commands is used, show the related workflow hint after displaying results:

Command	Workflow	File
ws start, ws poll, ws stop	Wallet Monitor (WebSocket)	~/.onchainos/workflows/wallet-monitor-ws.md

Hint format: "You can also try out our Wallet Monitor (WebSocket) workflow for more comprehensive results. Would you like to try it?"

Approach 1: CLI (onchainos ws)

Discover Channels

onchainos ws channels                          # list all 9 supported channels
onchainos ws channel-info --channel <name>     # detailed info + example for a channel

Start / Poll / Stop

onchainos ws start --channel <channel> [params]   # start background session
onchainos ws poll --id <ID> [--channel <ch>]       # pull new events
onchainos ws list                                  # list sessions
onchainos ws stop [--id <ID>]                      # stop session(s)

• --chain-index: comma-separated chain IDs (e.g. 1,501,56)

• --idle-timeout: auto-stop if no poll within this duration (default 30m; 1h, 2h, 300s, 0 to disable)

Examples

# Smart money trade feed
onchainos ws start --channel kol_smartmoney-tracker-activity

# Track specific wallets
onchainos ws start --channel address-tracker-activity --wallet-addresses 0xAAA,0xBBB

onchainos ws start --channel dex-token-candle1m --token-pair 1:0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7

Poll Filters (tracker channels only)

When polling kol_smartmoney-tracker-activity or address-tracker-activity, these filters are available:

• --min-quote-amount, --min-market-cap, --min-pnl
• --trader (wallet address prefix match)
• --tag (smart_money or kol)
• --trade-type (buy or sell)
• --since (ms timestamp)

Approach 2: Custom Script

When the user wants to build a custom WebSocket client with their own logic, read the corresponding protocol reference file:

Market Data (price & candlestick streams)

Read: ../okx-dex-market/references/ws-protocol.md

Channels: price, dex-token-candle{period}

Token Data (detailed token streams)

Read: ../okx-dex-token/references/ws-protocol.md

Channels: price-info, trades

Signal & Wallet Tracking

Read: ../okx-dex-signal/references/ws-protocol.md

Channels: dex-market-new-signal-openapi, kol_smartmoney-tracker-activity, address-tracker-activity

Meme/Trenches

Read: ../okx-dex-trenches/references/ws-protocol.md

Channels: dex-market-memepump-new-token-openapi, dex-market-memepump-update-metrics-openapi
