WebSocket API

Along with the REST API, Oblecto also supports a websocket based api over Socket.IO to allow for realtime communication between Oblecto Clients and the backend. It is used for realtime episode and movie tracking and for real-time library updates on frontends. The channel refers to the Socket.IO channel based communication.
