obs-websocket 4.2.1 protocol reference
This is the reference for the unreleased obs-websocket 4.2.1. See the list below for older versions.
General Introduction
Messages are exchanged between the client and the server as JSON objects. This protocol is based on the original OBS Remote protocol created by Bill Hamilton, with new commands specific to OBS Studio.
Authentication
OBSWebSocket uses SHA256 to transmit credentials.
A request for GetAuthRequired
returns two elements:
- A
challenge
: a random string that will be used to generate the auth response. - A
salt
: applied to the password when generating the auth response.
To generate the answer to the auth challenge, follow this procedure:
- Concatenate the user declared password with the
salt
sent by the server (in this order:password + server salt
). - Generate a binary SHA256 hash of the result and encode the resulting SHA256 binary hash to base64, known as a
base64 secret
. - Concatenate the base64 secret with the
challenge
sent by the server (in this order:base64 secret + server challenge
). - Generate a binary SHA256 hash of the result and encode it to base64.
- Voilà, this last base64 string is the
auth response
. You may now use it to authenticate to the server with theAuthenticate
request.
Pseudo Code Example:
password = "supersecretpassword"
challenge = "ztTBnnuqrqaKDzRM3xcVdbYm"
salt = "PZVbYpvAnZut2SS6JNJytDm9"
secret_string = password + salt
secret_hash = binary_sha256(secret_string)
secret = base64_encode(secret_hash)
auth_response_string = secret + challenge
auth_response_hash = binary_sha256(auth_response_string)
auth_response = base64_encode(auth_response_hash)

Events
Events are broadcast by the server to each connected client when a recognized action occurs within OBS.
An event message will contain at least the following base fields:

String: the type of event.stream-timecode
String (optional): time elapsed between now and stream start (only present if OBS Studio is streaming).rec-timecode
String (optional): time elapsed between now and recording start (only present if OBS Studio is recording).
Timecodes are sent using the format: HH:MM:SS.mmm
Additional fields may be present in the event message depending on the event type.
