title: "WebSocket wire protocol proxy - Xata"
description: "Upgrade to a WebSocket connection that proxies the PostgreSQL wire protocol. The client sends and receives PostgreSQL protocol messages over binary WebSocket frames. Authentication: the same branch connection string credential as the HTTP SQL endpoint is used, but it is supplied via the PostgreSQL startup message inside the wire protocol rather than an HTTP header. The control-plane API key (Bearer token) is not accepted."
