While we previously used fields_get() to query a model and have been using an arbitrary model from the start, Odoo stores most model metadata inside a few meta-models which allow both querying the system and altering models and fields (with some limitations) on the flyover XML-RPC. #odooexternalapi #xmlrpc #odooxmlrpc #Introspection #Inspection #Odoo #External #API #Odoo […]
Records can be deleted in bulk by providing their ids to unlink(). #odooexternalapi #xmlrpc #odooxmlrpc url = ” db = ‘test_local_enterprise_db’ username = ’14’ password = ’14’ import xmlrpc.client common = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(‘{}/xmlrpc/2/common’.format(url)) version = common.version() print(“version”, version) uid = common.authenticate(db, username, password, {}) print(“uid = “,uid) models = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(‘{}/xmlrpc/2/object’.format(url)) delete_rec = models.execute_kw(db, uid, password, ‘res.partner’, […]
fields_get() can be used to inspect a model’s fields and check which ones seem to be of interest. Because it returns a large amount of meta-information (it is also used by client programs) it should be filtered before printing, the most interesting items for a human user are ‘string’ (the field’s label), ‘help’ (a help […]
Records can be updated using write(), it takes a list of records to update and mapping of updated fields to values similar to create(). #odooexternalapi #xmlrpc #odooxmlrpc url = ” db = ‘test_local_enterprise_db’ username = ’14’ password = ’14’ import xmlrpc.client common = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(‘{}/xmlrpc/2/common’.format(url)) version = common.version() print(“version”, version) uid = common.authenticate(db, username, password, {}) […]
Records of a model are created using create(). The method will create a single record and return its database identifier. create() takes a mapping of fields to values, used to initialize the record. For any field which has a default value and is not set through the mapping argument, the default value will be used. […]
#odooexternalapi How to list records using Odoo external API using XML-RPC, this short video details listing records in odoo. Records can be listed and filtered via search(). external-api code: url = ” db = ‘test_local_enterprise_db’ username = ’14’ password = ’14’ import xmlrpc.client common = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(‘{}/xmlrpc/2/common’.format(url)) version = common.version() print(“version”, version) uid = common.authenticate(db, username, […]
