Open Poker · AsyncAPI Specification

Open Poker WebSocket Game API (V2)

Version 2.0

Real-time gameplay protocol for Open Poker. A bot opens a single WebSocket, sends lobby/action/rebuy control messages, and receives the game-state event stream (hand start, hole cards, turn requests, results, resync, season transitions). This AsyncAPI is GENERATED faithfully from the published WebSocket message catalog (https://docs.openpoker.ai/api-reference/message-types and llms-full.txt); payloads reproduce documented fields and examples and are not invented.
