400 Bad request when connecting to data stream

Alpaca Integration Applications App-Integration

I’m trying to open a WebSocket connection to “wss://stream.data.alpaca.markets/v2/iex” but I keep getting a 400 error. For reference, I’m using the StarScream sockets library for Swift. My socket code is able to connect to “ws://echo.websocket.org/” just not the alpaca iex streaming endpoint. Any suggestions?
