websocat
Command-line client for WebSockets, like netcat (or curl) for ws:// with advanced socat-like functions
Project mention: Show HN: ScaleSocket – Turn any script into a multiplayer WebSocket server | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-20It's similar to running netcat in server mode, wrapping a script. It's even closer to doing that using websocat [1], whereby one does not have to do the websocket header juggling.
The main difference is that while netcat or websocat will spawn a new process for each connecting client, ScaleSocket has a concept of rooms (channels). For a room, a process is spawned once only. All clients connecting to the same room are routed to the same process. This is not straight forward to do using the forementioned tools.
There's a small comparison page [2] where I have mentioned some alternative tools.

You can start by following tungstenite-rs client example. And since you are connecting to an tls enabled endpoint you should enable tls features. And according to your API's doc it requires you to send serialized json string for requesting message response and you can use serde ande serde_json for serialization. This is a complete example where a hardcode string request:

It passed all test of the autobahn testsuite And web-socket-benchmark show about 3x faster then tokio-tungstenite

Check out ezsockets by /u/gbaranski. I also switched to Axum due to its WS support, in Actix it seems you need another crate and it's not really interoperable with the Tokio ecosystem generally, such as with tungstenite.
