* `sceneName` - The name of a scene * `sceneName` - The name of a scene
* `sourceName` - The name of a source * `inputName` - The name of an input
* `fromScene` - From a scene - scene name * `sourceName` - The name of a source (only for when multiple source types apply)
* `sceneItemEnabled` - Whether a scene item is enabled
* Response parameters which have no attributed data due to an invalid state should be set to `null` (versus being left out)
* For example, when `GetSceneList` is called and OBS is not in studio mode, `currentPreviewSceneName` will be `null`
* If a request's core response data depends on a state, an error should be thrown unless `ignoreNonFatalRequestChecks` is set. See `GetCurrentPreviewScene` as an example.
