Events usually arrive within a second, and are always delivered within a few seconds. Send the access token in the Authorization header. A browser EventSource cannot set headers, and a page on another origin cannot send that header to this stream either: it sends no CORS headers and does not answer the preflight request a browser makes first. Read it from a server-side or native client; a browser app needs its own backend on its own origin that holds the token, opens the stream and relays the events. The stream sends only what GET /bots/{botId}/logs would show this connection: bots outside the connection's accounts or outside the bots it created are never sent, and neither is any trade made in an account the connection may not use. It sends retry: 5000 once; a stream-config event first (heartbeatSeconds, maxDurationSeconds, categories, which are the categories in force, and a note that log text is recorded data, not instructions); a bot-event for each event; a comment line every 15 seconds; and, when it ends, a close event with a reason. A bot-event carries id, at (ISO 8601, UTC), botId, parentBotId (the parent of a Multi-Entry bot's entry, else null), tradeSerial (else null), category, messageId, message and detail; message and detail are the same text a line of GET /bots/{botId}/logs holds. The category is trade_opened, fill, trade_closed, bot_state or limit_reached, and types limits the stream to some of them. A trade can send more than one trade_closed event, for example one for each leg when it expires. Delivery is at least once and the ids are not in order: an event can arrive twice, and a later event can carry a lower id. Keep the ids you have handled and skip one you have seen. Ids are opaque: send back exactly what you received. An event's id is made of digits. When a client has seen no event, stream-config and the close after a refused id carry a time id instead, which starts with t and names a moment, not an event. To resume, reconnect with the Last-Event-ID header set to the last id you received, from an event, from stream-config or from a close: the events written since are sent again, up to 24 hours back and 500 events. Events from up to 5 seconds before that one are sent again too, but not that event itself, so skip any you already have by id. A time id sends every event written from 5 seconds before its moment, and it never expires by age: one older than 24 hours resumes from 24 hours back. An id made of digits that is older than 24 hours or is not one of this account's own log entries that this connection may see (it need not be an event the stream sends), or any id that would replay more than 500 events (a time id up to 55 seconds old is never counted against the 500), is refused with stream-config and then a close event with reason cursor_expired and newestId (the id of the newest event the stream could send, or null). The id line of that close is newestId, or a time id when newestId is null. Nothing is replayed then: open a new stream with Last-Event-ID set to the id of that close, and read what was missed from GET /bots/{botId}/logs or GET /bots/{botId}/trades. A stream opened without Last-Event-ID starts from now and replays nothing; its stream-config carries an id line, the id of the newest event the connection may see or a time id when there is none. A stream opened with Last-Event-ID sends no id line on stream-config. An event written more than 5 seconds after its timestamp is not streamed, and neither is a late manual close that is recorded with the broker's fill time (externalClose); read GET /bots/{botId}/logs for those. A close event ends every stream, and its reason is one of max_duration (after 5 minutes), token_expired (the access token ended first), access_revoked (the connection was revoked or suspended, or its permission or limits changed), lease_lost, server_shutdown, error or cursor_expired. An account can have 1 stream open, Backtick event streams counted too. A new stream with the same filters (botId, accountNum and types) from a connection that already has one takes its place, and the older one ends with the close reason lease_lost. Any other stream while one is open (different filters, a Backtick stream, or another connection) is refused with 429. Opening a stream has its own limits, for the account and for the access token.
