If you want to do the same for Chromecast it's not possible yet. Google seems to have locked down their API. There is some open-source projects that are trying to reverse engineer it but the problem seems to be linked to crypto keys used to authenticate real Chromecast devices: https://github.com/thibauts/node-castv2/issues/2

And Google do security pretty well, so it's unlikely the certs will be leaked or broken :( When the Chromecast first came out, the was an open source receiver called leapcast which reverse engineered the DIAL protocol that the YouTube app on many smart TVs of the day used, and the Chromecast protocol was based on. But alas it doesn't work anymore.
