Hello @kishore.karanam

No, you cannot. Please be informed that the HTTP REST and WebSocket connections are different. You cannot use the REST example or Postman to make a WebSocket connection.

I highly recommend you check the following WebSocket API and RTO tutorials and resources pages first:

• Connect to Refinitiv Real-Time - Optimized Tutorial
• Sending a Request message to the server Tutorial
• Make a Batch Request for Multiple Items Tutorial
• RTO example applications (C#, Java, and Python) from the GitHub repository I highly recommend you check the *gw_authentication* example.
• Refinitiv Real-Time - Optimized Install and Config Guide

The above resources will give you a step-by-step guide and a clear explanation regarding how to use the WebSocket connection to connect and consume real-time data from RTO.
