WebSocket Search

​

Overview

This WebSocket endpoint allows real-time searching of user profiles using natural language queries.

WebSockets provide several advantages over traditional HTTP endpoints:

• Persistent Connection - Maintain a single connection for multiple searches
• Lower Latency - Faster response times with reduced overhead
• Real-time Updates - Ideal for search-as-you-type scenarios
