 Websockets
 =================
 
-`websockets` are a great way to add a two way instant data channel between server and client. This example was taken from the `copilot` extension, we create a websocket endpoint which can be restricted by `id`, then can feed it data to broadcast to any client on the socket using the `updater(extension_id, data)` function (`extension` has been used in place of an extension name, wreplace to your own extension):
+`websockets` are a great way to add a two way instant data channel between server and client. 
 
+LNbits has a useful in built websocket tool. With a websocket client connect to (obv change `somespecificid`) `wss://legend.lnbits.com/api/v1/ws/somespecificid` (you can use an online websocket tester). Now make a get to `https://legend.lnbits.com/api/v1/ws/somespecificid/somedata`. You can send data to that websocket by using `from lnbits.core.services import websocketUpdater` and the function `websocketUpdater("somespecificid", "somdata")`.
