Access the Sonoran CAD API via WSS to reduce authentication overhead for frequent API calls.
Use the websocket API for persistent, low-overhead integration traffic.
For frequent live-map location updates, prefer the websocket API over the HTTP v2 endpoint:
Websocket unitLocation updates can be sent every 200ms minimum. In practice, sending every 250ms is a safe default.
HTTP v2 PATCH /v2/emergency/servers/{serverId}/unit-locations is rate limited to 12 requests per minute, which is effectively one request every 5 seconds.
Current websocket API features include:
Authenticating once and reusing the session for repeated calls
Sending frequent unitLocation updates for the live map
Receiving Sonoran CAD pushEvent messages for a specific serverId, including normal push-event traffic before HTTP listener fallback is used
