recordstate.py

import time

import obsws_python as obs


def on_record_state_changed(data):
    """The state of the record output has changed."""
    print(f"Current record state: {data.output_state}")

    if data.output_state == "OBS_WEBSOCKET_OUTPUT_STARTED":
        print(f"Output Path: {data.output_path}")


def main():
    client_e = obs.EventClient()
    client_e.callback.register(on_record_state_changed)

    with obs.ReqClient() as client_r:
        client_r.start_record()

        time.sleep(3)

        client_r.stop_record()    

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Requires the obsws-python package which can be found at https://github.com/aatikturk/obsws-python

This example assumes existence of config file.

example config.toml:

[connection]
host = "localhost"
port = 4455
password = "mystrongpass"

config.toml should be placed next to your __main__.py
