# WebSocket / Texthooker API & Integration
# WebSocket and texthooker API
**Who this page is for:** developers and tinkerers who want to consume SubMiner's live subtitle stream from their own tools - a browser tab, an automation script, or another mpv plugin. If you just want subtitles in a browser tab for Yomitan, skip to [Texthooker Integration Guide](#texthooker-integration-guide); the rest is reference for building custom clients.
This page is for people wiring SubMiner's live subtitle stream into their own tools: a browser tab, an automation script, another mpv plugin. If you only want subtitles in a browser tab for Yomitan, jump to [Texthooker Integration Guide](#texthooker-integration-guide). Everything else here is reference for building a client.
A *texthooker* is a page/tool that receives the text currently on screen so a dictionary extension (like Yomitan) can look words up. SubMiner ships its own texthooker UI and also broadcasts subtitle text over local WebSockets that any client can connect to.
SubMiner exposes a small set of local integration surfaces for browser tools, automation helpers, and mpv-driven workflows:
SubMiner opens four local integration points:
- **Subtitle WebSocket** at `ws://127.0.0.1:6677` by default for plain subtitle pushes.
- **Annotation WebSocket** at `ws://127.0.0.1:6678` by default for token-aware clients.
- **Texthooker HTTP UI** at `http://127.0.0.1:5174` by default for browser-based subtitle consumption.
- **mpv plugin script messages** for in-player automation and extension.
This page documents those integration points and shows how to build custom consumers around them.
The rest of this page documents each one and shows how to build a consumer for it.

If you use the [mpv plugin](/mpv-plugin), it can also start a texthooker-only helper process. The launcher derives the plugin's texthooker setting from your SubMiner config (`texthooker.launchAtStartup`) and injects it at runtime - there is no plugin config file to edit.
