To establish a websocket connection with Live Blog Delivery System, clients first must obtain short-lived websocket token for use on the live-blogs endpoint.

For admin users (i.e. Cortex users), the request must provide a valid FanScore auth token via bearer token authentication header. The user must also have the LIVEBLOGMANAGEMENTADMIN role.

For viewers (i.e. fan-facing), the FanScore auth token can be omitted from the authentication header. You may also provide a token issued to a user without the LIVEBLOGMANAGEMENTADMIN role. However, the former approach is preferred.

For viewers, this endpoint will return 403 Forbidden if the live blog is currently unpublished.
