How to connect to poloniex.com websocket api using a python library

Question

I am trying to connect to wss://api.poloniex.com and subscribe to ticker. I can\'t find any working example in python. I have tried to use autobahn/twisted and websocket-cli

Answer 1

Currently, Twisted doesn't properly use the Windows trust store. So the verification of the TLS certificate will fail. To work around this until either Twisted or Autobahn includes a workaround, you can:

• install certifi module (pip install certifi)
• set SSL_CERT_FILE, like export SSL_CERT_FILE="$(python -m certifi)"
