In this post, we're diving into the new and improved WebSocketProvider. We'll introduce the WebSocket protocol, why the WebSocketProvider got a makeover, and how to use the new features.
Included in the (beta) release of web3.py v7 are some important and exciting updates to the asynchronous providers:
- The AsyncIPCProvider is live.
- WebsocketProviderV2 has graduated from beta and been renamed to WebSocketProvider (note the capital S).
- The original WebsocketProvider has been deprecated and renamed to LegacyWebSocketProvider.
