# Websocket Stream

Unlike HTTP, with WebSockets, you don't need to continuously make requests when you want specific information. WebSockets maintain a network connection for you (if done right) and listen for changes . You may view the[ **official Solana Websocket documentation here.** ](https://solana.com/docs/rpc/websocket)
