I want to record an external display via websocket.

I want to record an external display connected to my PC via websocket.
Is there an API method that would automatically detect & configure the external display?

Also, Is the following URL “OpenProjector” relevant?

obs-websocket/docs/generated/protocol.md at 4.9.1 · obsproject/obs-websocket

That function lets you use websocket (perhaps from another computer) create a projector on a monitor that is part of (laptop) or connected to (via HDMI, DisplayPort etc) the computer running OBS. The video doesn't flow through websockets. You can certainly use websocket to tell OBS to start and stop recording, but the recording will be on the computer running websocket.

Thanks to you,
I found the function “OpenProjector” was not what I wanted to achieve.

I want to write scripts which automatically record the screen on another computer and a monitor that is part of (laptop) or connected to (via HDMI, DisplayPort etc).
I found how to start recording and finish do that on websocket API. But, I coudn't find API to detect the monitor remotely and set it on OBS Scene automatically.
