GitHub project:
`https://github.com/Elektordi/obs-websocket-py <https://github.com/Elektordi/obs-websocket-py>`__

PyPI package:
`https://pypi.org/project/obs-websocket-py/ <https://pypi.org/project/obs-websocket-py/>`__

Installation
------------

Just run ``pip3 install obs-websocket-py`` in your Python venv or
directly on your system.

For manual install, git clone the github repo and copy the directory
**obswebsocket** in your python project root.

**Requires**: websocket-client (from pip)

Usage
-----

See python scripts in the
`samples <https://github.com/Elektordi/obs-websocket-py/tree/master/samples>`__
directory.

Or take a look at the documentation below:

   Help on class obsws in obswebsocket.core:

   obswebsocket.core.obsws = class obsws
    |  Core class for using obs-websocket-py
    |  
    |  Simple usage: (v5 api)
    |      >>> from obswebsocket import obsws, requests
    |      >>> client = obsws("localhost", 4455, "secret")
    |      >>> client.connect()
    |      >>> client.call(requests.GetVersion()).getObsVersion()
    |      '29.0.0'
    |      >>> client.disconnect()
    |  
    |  Legacy usage: (v4 api)
    |      >>> from obswebsocket import obsws, requests
    |      >>> client = obsws("localhost", 4444, "secret", legacy=True)
    |      >>> client.connect()
    |      >>> client.call(requests.GetVersion()).getObsStudioVersion()
    |      '25.0.0'
    |      >>> client.disconnect()
    |  
    |  For advanced usage, including events callback, see the 'samples' directory.

    |  Methods defined here:
    |  
    |  __init__(self, host='localhost', port=4444, password='', legacy=None, timeout=60, authreconnect=0, on_connect=None, on_disconnect=None)
    |      Construct a new obsws wrapper
    |      
    |      :param host: Hostname to connect to
    |      :param port: TCP Port to connect to (Default is 4444)
    |      :param password: Password for the websocket server (Leave this field empty if auth is not enabled)
    |      :param legacy: Server is using old obs-websocket protocol (v4). Default is v5 (False) except if port is 4444.
    |      :param timeout: How much seconds to wait for an answer after sending a request.
    |      :param authreconnect: Try to reconnect if websocket is closed, value is number of seconds between attemps.
    |      :param on_connect: Function to call after successful connect, with parameter (obsws)
    |      :param on_disconnect: Function to call after successful disconnect, with parameter (obsws)
    |  
    |  call(self, obj)
    |      Make a call to the OBS server through the Websocket.
    |      
    |      :param obj: Request (class from obswebsocket.requests module) to send
    |          to the server.
    |      :return: Request object populated with response data.
    |  
    |  connect(self)
    |      Connect to the websocket server
    |      
    |      :return: Nothing
    |  
    |  disconnect(self)
    |      Disconnect from websocket server
    |      
    |      :return: Nothing
    |  
    |  reconnect(self)
    |      Restart the connection to the websocket server
    |      
    |      :return: Nothing
    |  
    |  register(self, func, event=None)
    |      Register a new hook in the websocket client
    |      
    |      :param func: Callback function pointer for the hook
    |      :param event: Event (class from obswebsocket.events module) to trigger
    |          the hook on. Default is None, which means trigger on all events.
    |      :return: Nothing
    |  
    |  unregister(self, func, event=None)
    |      Unregister a new hook in the websocket client
    |      
    |      :param func: Callback function pointer for the hook
    |      :param event: Event (class from obswebsocket.events module) which
    |          triggered the hook on. Default is None, which means unregister this
    |          function for all events.
    |      :return: Nothing
