I’ve been attempting to connect to pubsub servers in order to listen in on channel points redemptions, but I haven’t been able to get a single response from a server. I send a request, await a response, but nothing happens until eventually it crashes. I’ve been stumped on this for a while. Here is my (python) code: ![file](https://d2opxh93rbxzdn.cloudfront.net/original/2X/a/acab13a5dc3eb074d9a85b57db64554decc17e6c.png) I’m a beginner to everything to do with twitch API, but I’ve read the entire documentation for PubSub several times, so I’d appreciate any help. ---

You need to JSON Encode your `request` before you `websocket.send` ---
