Odoo RESTful API(restful)

This is an HTTP framework that only cares about generating an HTTP response for each HTTP request. In other to use this module, a basic understating of Odoo RPC interface is required(though not that neccessary) especially when dealing with Many2many and One2many relationship. The implementation sits on the existing Odoo RPC features, data structures and format when creating or delecting Odoo's records are still applicable. I will be demostrating the usage using python request library.

Access token request

An access token is required in other to be able to perform any operations and ths token once generated should alway be send a long side any subsequents request.

import requests

headers = {
    'charset':'utf-8'
}

query = {
    'login': 'admin',
    'password': 'admin',
    'db': 'demo_db'
}
base_url = 'http://theninnercicle.com.ng'

req = requests.post('{}/api/auth/token'.format(base_url), data=data, headers=headers)
content = req.json()

headers['access-token'] = content['access_token'] # add the access token to the header
print(headers)

To delete acccess-token

req = requests.delete('{}/api/auth/token'.format(base_url), params=query, headers=headers)

[GET]

import requests

headers = {
    'charset': 'utf-8',
    'access-token': 'access_token'
}
model = 'res.partner'

# You can get object by its id
id = 100
req = requests.get('{}/api/{}/{}'.format(base_url, model, id), headers=headers)
print(req.json())

# You can make queries
headers['content-type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
query = {
    'domain': "[('supplier','=',True),('parent_id','=', False)]",
    'order': ['name asc', 'id desc'], # or 'name asc, id desc'
    'limit': 10,
    'offset': 0,
    'fields': "['name', 'supplier', 'parent_id']"
}

# You can ommit unnessesary query options
query = {
    'domain': "[('supplier','=',True),('parent_id','=', False)]",
    'limit': 10
}

# You can also use JSON-like domains
query = {
    'domain': "{'id':100, 'parent_id!':true}",
    'limit': 10
}
req = requests.get('{}/api/{}/'.format(base_url, model), headers=headers, params=query)
print(req.json())

[POST]

model = 'res.partner'
data = {
    'name': 'Babatope Ajepe',
    'country_id': 105,
    'child_ids': [
        {
            'name': 'Contact',
            'type': 'contact'
        },
        {
            'name': 'Invoice',
            'type': 'invoice'
        }
    ],
    'category_id': [{'id': 9}, {'id': 10}]
}
req = requests.post('{}/api/{}/'.format(base_url, model), headers=headers, data=data)
print(req.json())

[PUT]

model = 'res.partner'
id = 100
data = {
    'name': 'Babatope Ajepe',
    'country_id': 103,
    'category_id': [{'id': 9}]
}
req = requests.put('{}/api/{}/{}'.format(base_url, model, id), headers=headers, data=data)
print(req.json())

[DELETE]

model = 'res.partner'
id = 100
req = requests.delete('{}/api/{}/{}'.format(base_url, model, id), headers=headers)
print(req.status_code)
