![Reading Records
Records of a model can be read using the search function. First, we need to define a model.
models = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('{}/xmlrpc/2/object'.format(url))
To search for record in a model,
models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd,'model.name','search',[[[any_domain]]])
Here domain is a mandatory field. You should keep it empty(like this [[[]]] ) if no domain is
required. Also, we can keep limit for the number of records we need to get using limit.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/odoowebservices-170816092725/85/Odoo-Web-Services-6-320.jpg)
![Note: To read or write a record the logged user should have permission for read and write respectively
To get count we can use search_count instead of search for getting the number of records in our search.
To read a record we can use read instead of search and we need to define all fields in model which we need.
models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd,'model.name','read',[ids],{'fields':['field_1', 'field_2']})
we can also use search_read which is equalant to search followed by read
models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd,'model.name','search_read',[[[domain]]],{'fields':['field_1', 'field_2']})](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/odoowebservices-170816092725/85/Odoo-Web-Services-8-320.jpg)
![Managing Records
To create, update or unlink a record we can use create(), write(), and unlink() respectively
models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'model.name','create', [{'field_name':'field_value'}])
models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'model.name', 'write',
[[id]],[{'field_name':'field_value'}])
models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd,'model.name','unlink',[[id]])](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/odoowebservices-170816092725/85/Odoo-Web-Services-10-320.jpg)
Odoo Web Services
- 2. INTRODUCTION • Web services are a set of tools available over the internet or intranet networks which use the standardized messaging system to transfer data between applications or systems. • Web services allow interaction between different systems or applications using standard libraries such as HTML, XML, WSDL, and SOAP. • Web services are not limited to a single programming language. • Odoo web services can be of two types –> XML-RPC and JSON-RPC
- 3. XML-RPC • XML-RPC allows to connect programs running on different programming languages and systems working on different operating systems. • XML-RPC can be used with programming languages like Python, Java, C, C++, PHP, Perl, Ruby, .Net etc. • Discussing how to use xml-rpc in Python
- 4. Connecting With Database • To connect with an Odoo database we have to define URL of Odoo server, a name of the database used, username and password. • A simple way to check whether authentication is correct or not is to check the version of Odoo running. • If authentication is correct we will need the user id to access data. • It can be read using “uid = common. Authenticate (dB, user, pwd, {})”
- 5. Example: To connect to a local host and read the version of Odoo service running
- 6. Reading Records Records of a model can be read using the search function. First, we need to define a model. models = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('{}/xmlrpc/2/object'.format(url)) To search for record in a model, models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd,'model.name','search',[[[any_domain]]]) Here domain is a mandatory field. You should keep it empty(like this [[[]]] ) if no domain is required. Also, we can keep limit for the number of records we need to get using limit.
- 7. Example: Print ids of 3 records from model account. Invoice with origin field equals false
- 8. Note: To read or write a record the logged user should have permission for read and write respectively To get count we can use search_count instead of search for getting the number of records in our search. To read a record we can use read instead of search and we need to define all fields in model which we need. models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd,'model.name','read',[ids],{'fields':['field_1', 'field_2']}) we can also use search_read which is equalant to search followed by read models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd,'model.name','search_read',[[[domain]]],{'fields':['field_1', 'field_2']})
- 9. Example: Print name and state of all invoices against customer agrolait
- 10. Managing Records To create, update or unlink a record we can use create(), write(), and unlink() respectively models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'model.name','create', [{'field_name':'field_value'}]) models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'model.name', 'write', [[id]],[{'field_name':'field_value'}]) models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd,'model.name','unlink',[[id]])
- 11. Example: Create a customer named “test user”, update his name to “User 23”. And finally delete his record. Note : When creating records of a model we might want to define all required fields(if they are not given by default in Odoo). In the above example, we need to define login for the user.
- 12. Json-RPC Similar to XML-RPC we can interact with Odoo server using Json-RPC. General working is to establish a connection between two peers. During connection, a peer may invoke methods from other by sending the request. And receiver will reply with a response.
- 13. In Odoo Json-RPC can be implemented using standard python libraries(like json, random, urllib2) or using package jsonrpclib. To connect with Odoo server using jsonrpclib we can use url = “host url with port” server = jsonrpclib.Server(url)
