* To create asynchronous integrations with Platypush over websockets.
Two routes are available:
* ``/ws/events`` - Subscribe to this websocket to receive the
events generated by the application.
* ``/ws/requests`` - Subscribe to this websocket to send commands
to Platypush and receive the response asynchronously.
You will have to authenticate your connection to these websockets,
just like the ``/execute`` endpoint. In both cases, you can pass the
token either via ``Authorization: Bearer``, via the ``token`` query
string or body parameter, or leverage ``Authorization: Basic`` with
username and password (not advised), or use a valid ``session_token``
cookie from an authenticated web panel session.
