What problem does it solve?
Odoo's XML-RPC and JSON-RPC surfaces are powerful but fragmented across endpoints, languages, and best practices; this Skill consolidates authentication methods, CRUD patterns, batch strategies, and error-handling guidance into a single, practical reference so integrators stop guessing and start building reliable data flows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Protocol Reference: Clear differences and recommended usage for XML-RPC and JSON-RPC endpoints.
- Authentication & Security: Guidance for username/password, API keys, and OAuth plus HTTPS and credential handling.
- CRUD & Batch Operations: Search, read, create, write, unlink, search_read and bulk import patterns with one2many/many2many command handling.
- Operational Best Practices: Connection pooling, retry/exponential backoff, pagination, limiting fields, logging, and monitoring strategies.
- Multi-language Examples: Practical code samples for Python, JavaScript/Node.js, PHP, cURL and guidance for tests and integration scripts.
- Use Case: Synchronize external CRM customers into Odoo, create sale orders in bulk, and implement robust retry and logging to avoid data loss.
Quick Start
Connect to your Odoo instance, authenticate (preferably with an API key), and perform a search_read on sale.order to return the first 10 draft orders.
