Enum RequestBatchExecutionType

Identifiers:

  • SerialRealtime = 0
  • SerialFrame = 1
  • Parallel = 2

Class IdentificationParameters

Parameters:

  • ignoreNonFatalRequestChecks: bool = None - See here. Leave None for default
  • eventSubscriptions: int = None - See here. Leave None for default

Class Request

Parameters:

  • requestType: str - Request type. Only required element of a request
  • requestData: dict = None - Optional request data object
  • inputVariables: dict = None - Optional input variables, only used in serial request batches
  • outputVariables: dict = None - Optional output variables, only used in serial request batches

Class RequestStatus

Parameters:

  • result: bool = False - Boolean status of the request's result
  • code: int = 0 - Integer status of the request's result
  • comment: str = None - Text comment if the request failed

Class RequestResponse

Parameters:

  • requestType: str - The type of request that was made
  • requestStatus: RequestStatus = RequestStatus() - RequestStatus object
  • responseData: dict = None - Request response data object if any was returned

def has_data(self):

  • Returns bool | True if there is a response data object, False if not

def ok(self):

  • Returns bool | True if the request succeeded, False if not

Class WebSocketClient

def __init__(self, url: str = "ws://localhost:4444", password: str = '', identification_parameters: IdentificationParameters = IdentificationParameters()):

  • url - WebSocket URL to reach obs-websocket at
  • password - The password set on the obs-websocket server (if any)
  • identification_parameters - An IdentificationParameters() object with session parameters to be set during identification

async def connect(self):

  • Returns bool - True if connected, False if not. Exceptions may still be raised by websockets

Connect to the configured obs-websocket server. The library will automatically begin the identification handshake once connected.

async def wait_until_identified(self, timeout: int = 10):

  • Returns bool - True if identified, False if the timeout was reached

Wait for the identification handshake to complete, or until the timeout is reached.

  • timeout - Time to wait until giving up (does not close the websocket connection)

async def disconnect(self):

  • Returns bool - True if disconnected, False if already disconnected

Disconnect from the obs-websocket server. Once disconnected, the server may be connected to again using connect().

async def call(self, request: Request, timeout: int = 15):

  • Returns RequestResponse - Object with populated response data

Make a request to the obs-websocket server and return the response.

  • request - The request object to perform the request with
  • timeout - How long to wait for obs-websocket responses before giving up and throwing a MessageTimeout error

async def emit(self, request: Request)

  • Returns nothing

Similar to the call() function, but does not wait for an obs-websocket response.

  • request - The request object to emit to the server

async def call_batch(self, requests: list, timeout: int = 15, halt_on_failure: bool = None, execution_type: RequestBatchExecutionType = None, variables: dict = None):

  • Returns list of RequestResponse

Call a request batch, which is to be completed all at once by obs-websocket. Feed it a list of requests, and it will return a list of results.

  • requests - List of requests to perform
  • timeout - How long to wait for the request batch to finish before giving up and throwing a MessageTimeout error
  • halt_on_failure - Tells obs-websocket to stop processing the request batch if one fails. Only available in serial modes
  • execution_type - RequestBatchExecutionType to use to process the batch
  • variables - Batch variables to use. Only available in serial modes

async def emit_batch(self, requests: list, halt_on_failure: bool = None, execution_type: RequestBatchExecutionType = None):

  • Returns nothing

Similar to the call_batch() function, but does not wait for an obs-websocket response.

  • requests - List of requests to perform
  • halt_on_failure - Tells obs-websocket to stop processing the request batch if one fails. Only available in serial modes
  • execution_type - RequestBatchExecutionType to use to process the batch
  • variables - Batch variables to use. Only available in serial modes

def register_event_callback(self, callback, event: str = None):

  • Returns nothing

Register a callback function for an obs-websocket event. Must be a coroutine.

Note about callbacks: simpleobsws inspects the number of parameters of the callback to determine how to formulate its arguments. Here is the behavior:

  • 1 parameter - Raw payload

  • 2 parameters - event type, event data

  • 3 parameters - event type, event intent, event data

  • callback - Callback to an async handler function. See examples for more info

  • event - Event name to trigger the callback. If not specified, all obs-websocket events will be sent to the callback

def deregister_event_callback(self, callback, event = None):

  • Returns nothing

Similar to register(), but deregisters a callback function from obs-websocket. Requires matching function and event parameters to the original callback registration.

def is_identified(self):

  • Returns bool - True if connected and identified, False if not identified

Pretty simple one.
