Just a minimal API is supported

obs-cmd info
obs-cmd --websocket obsws://localhost:4455/secret info # You can override the default `obsws` url
You can override the websocket URL, which can be found in OBS -> Tools -> WebSocket Server Settings. localhost for the hostname will work for most, instead of the full IP address. If you set the password as secret you can avoid to specify the --websocket argument.
Download obs-cmd, pick the correct binary for your OS, example obs-cmd-linux-amd64
https://github.com/grigio/obs-cmd/releases/latest
type in the terminal:
chmod +x obs-cmd-linux-amd64 && sudo mv obs-cmd-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/obs-cmd
First ensure that Rust is installed on your system. Clone the repo to your local system:
git clone https://github.com/grigio/obs-cmd.git
Next cd into the cloned directory then at the top-level of the directory run:
cargo build --release
Once the build is complete you may move the produce binary into an approriate binary location, such as /usr/local/bin:
sudo cp target/release/obs-cmd /usr/local/bin/obs-cmd
The obs-cmd package is maintained on the Arch User Repository.
Ensure that rust is installed for access to cargo.
To install obs-cmd you can either use an AUR helper of your choice such as yay or aurman or download the PKGBUILD directly and use makepkg to produce the finished package:
wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/obs-cmd.tar.gz
Untar the .tar.gz file:
tar xvzf obs-cmd.tar.gz
cd into the directory:
cd obs-cmd
Run makepkg to produce the installable package:
makepkg -s
And finally use pacman to install the produced package (your version number may vary):
sudo pacman -U obs-cmd-0.15.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
$ obs-cmd recording start

Result: Ok(())
