It is hard to find and learn about RPC in Odoo, users hardly know about
JSON-RPC as the only place where we talk about it in deep down in the
*How to make a Module* tutorial.

In the commit, we isolated the tutorial about RPC in a dedicated file,
that file is better referenced thanks to cross-references in some others
places that are talking about RPC

WebServices
===========
The web-service module offer a common interface for all web-services :
- XML-RPC
- JSON-RPC
Business objects can also be accessed via the distributed object
mechanism. They can all be modified via the client interface with contextual
views.
Odoo is accessible through XML-RPC/JSON-RPC interfaces, for which libraries
exist in many languages.
XML-RPC Library
---------------
The following example is a Python 3 program that interacts with an Odoo
server with the library ``xmlrpc.client``::
import xmlrpc.client
root = 'http://%s:%d/xmlrpc/' % (HOST, PORT)
uid = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(root + 'common').login(DB, USER, PASS)
print("Logged in as %s (uid: %d)" % (USER, uid))
# Create a new note
sock = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(root + 'object')
args = {
'color' : 8,
'memo' : 'This is a note',
'create_uid': uid,
}
note_id = sock.execute(DB, uid, PASS, 'note.note', 'create', args)
.. exercise:: Add a new service to the client
Write a Python program able to send XML-RPC requests to a PC running
Odoo (yours, or your instructor's). This program should display all
the sessions, and their corresponding number of seats. It should also
create a new session for one of the courses.
.. only:: solutions
.. code-block:: python
import functools
import xmlrpc.client
HOST = 'localhost'
PORT = 8069
DB = 'openacademy'
USER = 'admin'
PASS = 'admin'
ROOT = 'http://%s:%d/xmlrpc/' % (HOST,PORT)
# 1. Login
uid = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(ROOT + 'common').login(DB,USER,PASS)
print("Logged in as %s (uid:%d)" % (USER,uid))
call = functools.partial(
xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(ROOT + 'object').execute,
DB, uid, PASS)
# 2. Read the sessions
sessions = call('openacademy.session','search_read', [], ['name','seats'])
for session in sessions:
print("Session %s (%s seats)" % (session['name'], session['seats']))
# 3.create a new session
session_id = call('openacademy.session', 'create', {
'name' : 'My session',
'course_id' : 2,
})
Instead of using a hard-coded course id, the code can look up a course
by name::
# 3.create a new session for the "Functional" course
course_id = call('openacademy.course', 'search', [('name','ilike','Functional')])[0]
session_id = call('openacademy.session', 'create', {
'name' : 'My session',
'course_id' : course_id,
})
JSON-RPC Library
----------------
The following example is a Python 3 program that interacts with an Odoo server
with the standard Python libraries ``urllib.request`` and ``json``. This
example assumes the **Productivity** app (``note``) is installed::
import json
import random
import urllib.request
HOST = 'localhost'
PORT = 8069
DB = 'openacademy'
USER = 'admin'
PASS = 'admin'
def json_rpc(url, method, params):
data = {
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": method,
"params": params,
"id": random.randint(0, 1000000000),
}
req = urllib.request.Request(url=url, data=json.dumps(data).encode(), headers={
"Content-Type":"application/json",
})
reply = json.loads(urllib.request.urlopen(req).read().decode('UTF-8'))
if reply.get("error"):
raise Exception(reply["error"])
return reply["result"]
def call(url, service, method, *args):
return json_rpc(url, "call", {"service": service, "method": method, "args": args})
# log in the given database
url = "http://%s:%s/jsonrpc" % (HOST, PORT)
uid = call(url, "common", "login", DB, USER, PASS)
# create a new note
args = {
'color': 8,
'memo': 'This is another note',
'create_uid': uid,
}
note_id = call(url, "object", "execute", DB, uid, PASS, 'note.note', 'create', args)
Examples can be easily adapted from XML-RPC to JSON-RPC.
.. note::
There are a number of high-level APIs in various languages to access Odoo
systems without *explicitly* going through XML-RPC or JSON-RPC, such as:

* https://github.com/OCA/odoorpc
* https://github.com/nicolas-van/openerp-client-lib
