Is it possible to script OBS to allow it to run entirely on a server?

I would like to use OBS in order to connect to another streaming service (Amazon IVS). However, for my use case, OBS needs to run on a server where the video will also be running. Is it possible to entirely "script" OBS and have it run through lines of code rather than using the traditional application?
 
A CLI tool like FFmpeg might be better suited for your needs. OBS requires physical hardware and is not designed for headless use.
 
@deFrisselle For my use case, I want to set up a server that I can connect a video stream to that will encode it and send it to a tool like Amazon IVS or Youtube. The server would run OBS or FFMPEG when a connection was established and broadcast video from that source to the endpoint. Ideally, I would also be able to control or stop the stream. Upon further investigation, it seems that FFMPEG might be useful as I can write code to execute FFMPEG commands (when a successful and approved server connection is established)
