### /v1/subscribe (Watch API)
Steve provides real-time updates for Kubernetes resources through a WebSocket-based Watch API, available at the `/v1/subscribe` endpoint. This API leverages the generic subscription framework from [rancher/apiserver](https://github.com/rancher/apiserver).
To test, connect to the endpoint using a websocket client like websocat:
```sh
websocat -k wss://127.0.0.1:9443/v1/subscribe
```
When using Steve as integrated in Rancher, you can connect by:
- Creating an API token:
- Open Rancher in a browser, log in
- Click on the user icon in the top-right corner
- Click on "Account and API Keys"
- Click on "Create API Key"
- Add a Description, click Create
- Copy the "Bearer Token" value
- Using the following lines:
```sh
read RANCHER_TOKEN
websocat --header="Cookie: R_SESS=$RANCHER_TOKEN" wss://my.rancher.server/v1/subscribe
```
Review the [rancher/apiserver](https://github.com/rancher/apiserver) README for protocol details.
In addition to regular Kubernetes resources, steve allows you to subscribe to
special steve resources. For example, to subscribe to counts, send a websocket
message like this:
```
{"resourceType":"count"}
```
