# Request Payload

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Initialize Socket" %}

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```json
socket=io(
  "---web socket url---",
{
  transports: [
    "websocket",
    "polling"
  ],
  auth: {
    Authorization: "Socket Authorization Key",
    
  },
  autoConnect: true,
  
});
```

{% endcode %}

**Authorization Token**

* **Name**: `Authorization`
* **Type**: String (Required)
* **Description**: Authentication token for the user.

**Transports**

The socket server supports multiple transports for real-time communication. The server will choose the best available transport method based on the client's capabilities.

* **WebSocket**: Uses the WebSocket protocol for real-time communication. Preferred transport if supported by the client.
* **Polling**: Uses long-polling for real-time communication. Used as a fallback for clients that do not support WebSocket.
