Access vmware workstation / fusion guest screen via API, Python preferred

Looking for a way to access the screen pixels (RGB values at any position x,y) of a VMWare guest via API (Python preferred, but could use any other as well) running inside vmware Workstation Pro or Fusion. The guest OS is Windows, the host Windows or MacOS.



Additionally, performing mouse and keyboard actions via the API would be nice, but not strictly required.



From the vmware docs, e.g. https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/, it seems they provide an API for vSphere, which seems to be a product for data centers.



I've also seen pysphere, https://pypi.org/project/pysphere/0.1.7/, and vix (https://github.com/naim94a/vix) for Python, but did not find this functionality in the respective docs.

The code is below: var Airtable = require('airtable'); var base = new Airtable(apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY').base('appAnZVyYqusNPV5Q'); base('Invitee list').select( // Selecting the first 3 records in Complete list: maxRecords: 3, view: "Complete list" ).eachPage(function page(records, fetchNextPage) // This function (`page`) will get called for each page of records. records.forEach(function(record) console.log('Retrieved', record.get('Email')); ); // To fetch the next page of records, call `fetchNextPage`. // If there are more records, `page` will get called again. // If there are no more records, `done` will get called. fetchNextPage(); , function done(err) if (err) console.error(err); return; ); node.js ...
