+- The optional API key (if provided) is sent as an `X-repello-api-key` header during the WebSocket handshake.

 ### Command Line Interface
 1. Create a JSON file with the necessary input data. An example file (input_example.json) is provided in the repository.

-### WebSocket Transport
-If your target application exposes a WebSocket endpoint, you can use the WebSocket transport:
-
-**In the UI:**
-1. Set the `Transport` dropdown to `WebSocket`.
-2. Provide a valid WebSocket URL (e.g., `ws://host/path` or `wss://host/path`).
-3. Configure request/response structures the same way as REST, using `$INPUT` in the request and `$OUTPUT` in the response to indicate where the prompt and model output should be.
-
-**In JSON configuration:**
-```json
-{
-  "api_url": "ws://localhost:8000/chat",
-  "request_body": {"message": "$INPUT"},
-  "response_body": {"output": "$OUTPUT"},
-  "OpenAI_api_key": "<YOUR_API_KEY>",
-  "model": "gpt-4",
-  "transport": "websocket"
-}
-```
-
-Notes:
-- The current WebSocket support sends a single JSON message and waits for a single JSON response. If your server streams multiple frames or uses a non-JSON protocol, you may need to adapt the code.
-- The optional API key (if provided) is sent as an `X-repello-api-key` header during the WebSocket handshake.
-
 ### Command Line Interface
 1. Create a JSON file with the necessary input data. An example file (input_example.json) is provided in the repository.
 
 2. Use the command line to run the following command:
 ```
-python main.py --json_file path/to/your/input.json --transport rest
-```
-
-For WebSocket transport:
-```
-python main.py --json_file path/to/your/input.json --transport websocket
+python main.py --json_file path/to/your/input.json --api_key your_openai_api_key --model gpt-4
 ```
 
-**Transport Configuration:**
-- The `--transport` argument can be either `rest` (default) or `websocket`
-- You can also specify the transport in the JSON file using the `"transport"` field
-- CLI argument overrides JSON configuration if both are provided
-- If neither is specified, defaults to `"rest"`
