"iTunes XML",
"Spotify",
"LastFM",
"MPD",

"ALSA"
]
}
```
## Push notifications
If forked-daapd was built with websocket support, forked-daapd exposes a websocket at `localhost:3688` to inform clients of changes (e. g. player state or library updates).
The port depends on the forked-daapd configuration and can be read using the [`/api/config`](#config) endpoint.
After connecting to the websocket, the client should send a message containing the event types it is interested in. After that forked-daapd
will send a message each time one of the events occurred.
**Message**
| Key | Type | Value |
| --------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| notify | array | Array of event types |
**Event types**
| Type | Description |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| update | Library update started or finished |
| outputs | An output was enabled or disabled |
| player | Player state changes |
| options | Playback option changes (shuffle, repeat, consume mode) |
| volume | Volume changes |
| queue | Queue changes |
**Example**
```
curl --include \
--no-buffer \
--header "Connection: Upgrade" \
--header "Upgrade: websocket" \
--header "Host: localhost:3688" \
--header "Origin: http://localhost:3688" \
--header "Sec-WebSocket-Key: SGVsbG8sIHdvcmxkIQ==" \
--header "Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13" \
--header "Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: notify" \
