Hi Deriv Community,

Ever had your WebSocket connection drop when your app sits idle for too long?  
There’s a simple way to keep the connection live without constantly sending data.

Our latest guide walks you through an example on how to keep your WebSocket session active using a timed ping. Here’s a quick look at what it covers:

● Create an API object

● Start a proposal subscription  
● Send a ping to keep the connection live  
● Handle WebSocket responses  
● End the WebSocket subscription
