Websocket API python for FTX

I am having issue getting connected to the websocket api for crypto exchange FTX. The following link is the doc which is not really clear to me as a beginner. https://docs.ftx.com/?python#websocket-api

Below is the code I am using to try and get ticket data.

import pandas as pd 
import numpy as np 
import json 
import hmac 
import time 
import websocket

socket = 'wss://ftx.com/ws/'

api_key = xxxx
secret_key = xxxx

def on_open(ws):
    print('connected')

    ts = int(time.time() * 1000)
    signa = hmac.new(secret_key.encode(), f'{ts}websocket_login'.encode(), 'sha256').hexdigest()
    auth = {'op': 'login', 'args': {'key': api_key,
                                'sign': signa, 
                                'time': ts}}
    ws.send(json.dumps(auth))
    data = {'op': 'subscribe', 'channel': 'ticker', 'market': 'BTC-PERP'}
    ws.send(json.dumps(data))

def on_close(ws):
    print('disconnected')
def on_message(ws,message):
    print('got message')
    json_msg = json.loads(message)
    print(json_msg)

def on_error(ws,error):
    print(error)

ws = websocket.WebSocketApp(socket,on_open=on_open,on_close=on_close,on_message=on_message,on_error=on_error)

 ws.run_forever()

I just cannot connect to it. I an getting the following message:

[WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

If someone can enlight me on how it should work. Thank you

Of course you are using websocket now. But I think it is a little difference. Try this
