Odoo requires users of the API to be authenticated before they can query most data. The xmlrpc/2/common endpoint provides meta-calls that don’t require authentication, such as the authentication itself or fetching version information. To verify if the connection information is correct before trying to authenticate, the simplest call is to ask for the server’s version. The authentication itself is done through the authenticate function and returns a user identifier (uid) used in authenticated calls instead of the login.
