odoorpc.ODOO

class odoorpc.ODOO(host='localhost', protocol='jsonrpc', port=8069, timeout=120, version=None, opener=None)

Return a new instance of the ODOO class. JSON-RPC protocol is used to make requests, and the respective values for the protocol parameter are jsonrpc (default) and jsonrpc+ssl.

>>> import odoorpc
>>> odoo = odoorpc.ODOO('localhost', protocol='jsonrpc', port=8069)

OdooRPC will try by default to detect the server version in order to adapt its requests if necessary. However, it is possible to force the version to use with the version parameter:

>>> odoo = odoorpc.ODOO('localhost', version='12.0')

You can also define a custom URL opener to handle HTTP requests. A use case is to manage a basic HTTP authentication in front of Odoo:

>>> import urllib.request
>>> import odoorpc
>>> pwd_mgr = urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
>>> pwd_mgr.add_password(None, "http://example.net", "userName", "passWord")
>>> auth_handler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(pwd_mgr)
>>> opener = urllib.request.build_opener(auth_handler)
>>> odoo = odoorpc.ODOO('example.net', port=80, opener=opener)

Python 2:

Raise

odoorpc.error.InternalError

Raise

ValueError (wrong protocol, port value, timeout value)

Raise

urllib2.URLError (connection error)

Python 3:

Raise

odoorpc.error.InternalError

property config

Dictionary of available configuration options.

>>> odoo.config
{'auto_commit': True, 'auto_context': True, 'timeout': 120}
  • auto_commit: if set to True (default), each time a value is set on a record field a RPC request is sent to the server to update the record (see odoorpc.env.Environment.commit()).

  • auto_context: if set to True (default), the user context will be sent automatically to every call of a model method (default: True):

>>> odoo.env.context['lang'] = 'fr_FR'
>>> Product = odoo.env['product.product']
>>> Product.name_get([2])   # Context sent by default ('lang': 'fr_FR' here)
[[2, 'Surveillance sur site']]
>>> odoo.config['auto_context'] = False
>>> Product.name_get([2])   # No context sent, 'en_US' used
[[2, 'On Site Monitoring']]
  • timeout: set the maximum timeout in seconds for a RPC request (default: 120):

    >>> odoo.config['timeout'] = 300
    
property db

The database management service. See the odoorpc.db.DB class.

property env

The environment which wraps data to manage records such as the user context and the registry to access data model proxies.

>>> Partner = odoo.env['res.partner']
>>> Partner
Model('res.partner')

See the odoorpc.env.Environment class.

http(url, data=None, headers=None)

Low level method to execute raw HTTP queries.

Note

For low level JSON-RPC queries, see the more convenient odoorpc.ODOO.json() method instead.

You have to know the names of each POST parameter required by the URL, and set them in the data string/buffer. The data argument must be built by yourself, following the expected URL parameters (with urllib.urlencode() function for simple parameters, or multipart/form-data structure to handle file upload).

E.g., the HTTP raw query to get the company logo on Odoo 12.0:

>>> response = odoo.http('web/binary/company_logo')
>>> binary_data = response.read()

Python 2:

Returns

urllib.addinfourl

Raise

urllib2.HTTPError

Raise

urllib2.URLError (connection error)

Python 3:

Returns

http.client.HTTPResponse

Raise

urllib.error.HTTPError

Raise

urllib.error.URLError (connection error)

json(url, params)

Low level method to execute JSON queries. It basically performs a request and raises an odoorpc.error.RPCError exception if the response contains an error.

You have to know the names of each parameter required by the function called, and set them in the params dictionary.

Here an authentication request:

>>> data = odoo.json(
...     '/web/session/authenticate',
...     {'db': 'db_name', 'login': 'admin', 'password': 'admin'})
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> pprint(data)
{'id': 645674382,
 'jsonrpc': '2.0',
 'result': {'db': 'db_name',
            'session_id': 'fa740abcb91784b8f4750c5c5b14da3fcc782d11',
            'uid': 1,
            'user_context': {'lang': 'en_US',
                             'tz': 'Europe/Brussels',
                             'uid': 1},
            'username': 'admin'}}

And a call to the read method of the res.users model:

>>> data = odoo.json(
...     '/web/dataset/call',
...     {'model': 'res.users', 'method': 'read',
...      'args': [[2], ['name']]})
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> pprint(data)
{'id': ...,
 'jsonrpc': '2.0',
 'result': [{'id': 2, 'name': 'Mitchell Admin'}]}
