# Liquidations

Once websocket connection is established, you can initiate a liquidations data feed by sending a subscription message with the following format

```
{
    "method": "subscribe",
    "subscription": {
        "event_type": "liquidations",
        "coin": "<coin>",  // optional filter
        "user": "<address>"  // optional filter
    }
}
```
