Steps

  1. Open a websocket connection to wss://broadcast.<region>.bidjs.com where region matches your BidJS deployment, e.g. eu-west-2.
  2. Send a SubscribeToAuction action message with an array of one or more auction UUIDs as the data payload.
  3. Attach open/close/message event listeners to handle connection lifecycle and incoming bid/status events.
  4. Send a Ping message at least once every 10 minutes to keep the connection alive during quiet periods.
  5. Call GET https://<application_url>/auction-007/api/v2/auctions/<auction_uuid> with an x-forwarded-client-id header to fetch the auction's initial state before relying on streamed events.
