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.

 |
 |      :param host: Hostname to connect to

 |      :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 func: Callback function pointer for the hook
