The word "**server**" is commonly used to refer to both the remote/cloud computer (the physical or virtual machine) and also the program that is running on that machine (e.g. Uvicorn).

Just keep in mind that when you read "server" in general, it could refer to one of those two things.

This example doesn't implement the callback itself (that could be just a line of code), only the documentation part.

!!! tip
    The actual callback is just an HTTP request.

### Just Modern Python

It's all based on standard **Python type** declarations (thanks to Pydantic). No new syntax to learn. Just standard modern Python.

!!! info
    The `app.webhooks` object is actually just an `APIRouter`, the same type you would use when structuring your app with multiple files.

{!../../../docs_src/websockets/tutorial001.py!}
```

!!! note "Technical Details"
    You could also use `from starlette.websockets import WebSocket`.

    **FastAPI** provides the same `WebSocket` directly just as a convenience for you, the developer. But it comes directly from Starlette.

## Await for messages and send messages

In your WebSocket route you can `await` for messages and send messages.

```Python hl_lines="48-52"

But you should first read the **Tutorial - User Guide** (what you are reading right now).
