WebSocket & SSE Event Recorder

Capture WebSocket frames and Server-Sent Events that a public webpage actually receives, then export bounded structured rows for debugging, monitoring, and integration work.

Quick start

Provide one or more public webpage URLs. The safe default records protocol, direction, byte size, and timestamps without storing message contents.

Use cases

  • Diagnose live dashboards, chats, tickers, and notification feeds.
  • Archive bounded event samples from a public page you are authorized to inspect.
  • Confirm whether a webpage uses WebSocket, SSE, or both.
  • Monitor event volume and stream availability over time.

Output

Each captured event becomes one dataset row. Each page also produces a summary row. Stream URLs omit query strings and fragments. Payload text is disabled by default; when enabled, it is redacted and truncated.

Limits and safety

Public HTTP(S) destinations on ports 80/443 only. Private, local, metadata, reserved, and special networks are blocked and every browser request is rechecked. The Actor does not replay, modify, inject, or probe messages. It does not bypass authentication, CAPTCHAs, access controls, or rate limits. Never use it on private or sensitive sessions.

Pricing

USD 0.001 per stored stream event, plus the standard Actor-start event. A five-event capture costs about USD 0.005 plus startup before Store discounts. Failed pages and dropped events are not charged. Cloud tests measured about USD 0.00071 platform cost for six SSE events and USD 0.00128 for a capped 20-frame WebSocket run; pricing will be reviewed after real external usage.

Use Browser Network & HAR Capture Inspector for ordinary HTTP/XHR/Fetch diagnostics and HAR export. Use this Actor when the real-time WebSocket frame or SSE message is the result you need.

Ready-to-use examples

  • examples/01-safe-metadata-capture.json: smallest safe zero-event smoke test.
  • examples/02-sse-live-clock.json: capture a public SSE live clock.
  • examples/03-websocket-market-stream.json: record a bounded WebSocket sample with a hard event cap.

Support

Include the run ID, public page URL, protocol, event cap, and sanitized expected behavior. Never post payload contents, credentials, cookies, authorization headers, or private stream URLs.
