Often when creating mobile applications or systems that will interact with Odoo you will wish to use a REST API. This method gives you great flexibility. In this video we look at one of the most simple implementations, an HTTP GET request using an Odoo controller.

In addition, we learn that Odoo will automatically make sure to protect our models from unauthorized access.

As a bit of a bonus, we see how we can use a try/except block in Python to trap conditions in which we can't retrieve data through the API.

This video has several important concepts that will help you in building Odoo applications.

1. Using the scaffold command to create an Odoo application
2. Modifying the built-in templates and testing your application
3. Using simple HTML commands to format the output
4. Accessing models and records within Odoo
5. Basic FOR loop to go through the record collection
6. Using Try/Except blocks to trap errors

Creating a simple HTTP controller for Odoo isn't difficult. Note that this video demonstrates how to do an HTTP controller. There is a bit different syntax if you wish to use JSON or another method for passing & retrieving data from the controller.

Choosing database before accessing the endpoint doesnt make sense to me, say i created an endpoint (url for my another app getting data from my odoo 15), is it possible for them to get the data? Beside using xmlrpc approach.

[dalilahannouche]

Thank you for your work and explanations. I would like to read better because it's hard to see your screen. Please make a zoom when you are coding for the next video. Thank you again.

Greg,

Do you have any examples of how you would make this controller externally accessible? We want our ADFS system to push data into our employee database. This would be an automated task.

Hello Greg Moss,

I Have a problem when printing the PDF documents with an error "Error Failed to load PDF document", with a deployment stack using Nginx + uwsgi + Odoo, wkhtmltopdf don't works.

But when I use the same configuration and starting the ERP by using Nginx + Odoo, wkhtmltopdf works perfectly.

Do you have experienced this issue and have an idea how to solved it.

And if you can, we want to see a tutoriaj about the deployment stack using Nginx + uwsgi + Odoo.

Thank you for the video tutorial.

I'd like to make a flutter app for my store, and I want the customer to be able to connect to it using credentials stored in Odoo CRM to view my products. Could this work too?

Greg

Are you using Odoo Community or Enterprise? Do you install everything on your local machine so Odoo start working on Studio?

[RFIDSecurityWarehouse]

Clear presentation for quick understanding on the topic. Thanks.

return self.models[model_name]
KeyError: 'sale.order'
Which is the cause?

[joedeir]

I am interested in connecting a PHP program to the Odoo program.

hi, thanks for the video, how do you get vscode to work properly with /opt directory, it seems no matter what I try I cant make any changes to the files in my odoo project in vscode due to permission error.

[Roshdyz]

thanks for the content. I Believe you need to zoom while recording, because aside from the audio, I can't see anything 😅

[johntizzy]

Sir please can you show any of your previous work where flutter app was connected with odoo backend

[nyanmyoaung]

It is nice video. It will be more better if you a little zoom in.

[salaizy]

Your tutorial is good and very clear but your Tuto path or playlist is so messy, I don't know where to start and where to continue.

[JS-eleg]

Thank you for the video
It is always nice to see another Odoo Tutorial Video

Since there is a little tutorial about Odoo's Front End framework, can you make a video of that?
Specially after the introduction of OWL.
