getting socket id of a client in flask socket.io

Question

Is there a way to get socket id of current client? I have seen it is possible to get socket id in node.js. But it seems flask's socket.io extension is a little bit different than node's socketio.

Solution 1

From Flask-SocketIO documentation:

The request object defines request.namespace as the name of the namespace being handled, and adds request.sid, defined as the unique session ID for the client connection

Solution 2

Consider using request.sid which gets its value populated from the FlaskSocketIO library.

Solution 3

I found it is possible in flask too.

In the flask's request object there is a socket object which has an id.

from flask import request
# ....
@socketio.on('connect')
def onConnect():
    currentSocketId = request.namespace.socket.sessid
# ....
