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.

[@therealtakenbyWine]

thanks bro ur the only one that solved my problem i've been looking for this for a month now i seriously can't thank you enough !!

[@dalilahannouche288]

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.

[@OdooclassVideos]

Yes, thank you for the comment. For my report video i did some zoom ins to make it easier to read. I also increased the font size as well.

[@dalilahannouche288]

@@OdooclassVideos Thank you, you're great

[@brianlefler8787]

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.

[@mohammedrai8197]

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.

[@fredyfred1950]

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?

[@AhmedMostafa-so2jp]

i have the same use case, could you find a solution?

[@mazenbayad9856]

Greg Is it possible to separate the API in a deferent application server?

[@Roshdyz]

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

[@henrysaleman6534]

Thank you for the video, When using the http.route url I am getting a 404 page error any thoughts?

[@JS-el4eg]

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.

[@OdooclassVideos]

Thank you for the comment. I'm a huge fan of the new Front end frameworks and hope to share more here. Unfortunately it is a rather advanced subject and I'm limited to covering it in my workshops and my full courses. Hopefully as this channel grows I'll have an opportunity to put more time into free content here. Please check back as I do hope to put my very best tips here on the channel.

[@RFIDSecurityWarehouse]

Clear presentation for quick understanding on the topic. Thanks.

[@OdooclassVideos]

You are welcome!

[@zaheerbeg4810]

In next video can you please increase font size ? By the way nice and simple 👍

[@milleniumenterprise3254]

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.

[@OdooclassVideos]

Greetings. You need to assign permissions or change ownership of the source directories you wish to work with in VS Code then make sure you also have a user created in postgres as well. This is specifically one of the aspects I cover in my Mastering Odoo Development on how to setup and configure a development environment in Odoo.

[@MatijaGudlin]

Great video, please create video on posting (creating) data

[@johntizzy7614]

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

[@rembautimes8808]

Thanks Greg , I am from Singapore and am very interested in building custom API for Oddo

[@rogercanvas-odoo5202]

Thank you for the video. Useful concept. Although Jason or FLutter API example would be really appreciated.

[@OdooclassVideos]

You're welcome. I will be releasing a whole series of mobile videos in the weeks ahead.

Amazing Tutorial

[@RoamingAdhocrat]

Suppose you were a system administrator for a county school system. Would it be in the realms of possibility to use Odoo to make a robust school records system in-house, serving concurrent users in the low hundreds and maintaining highly personal and legally privileged info for tens of thousands of people?

[@OdooclassVideos]

That is very possible. In fact there are several very robust school platforms available that could be customized as you wish.

[@RFIDSecurityWarehouse]

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

[@OdooclassVideos]

I work extensively in both. For the most part I use Odoo Studio only for prototyping and don't recommend it for production implementations. I always work locally and use github for my primary repositories on larger projects. For my production installations I typically use Amazon AWS or Digital Oceans. I've also used Ramnode without any problems and they are very inexpensive. Odoo.sh is also an option for enterprise and it has improved greatly through the years.

[@mmmmmuuuu]

Good Explanation, thanks a lot.

[@OdooclassVideos]

Many thanks!

[@davidyon7912]

Thank you so much !!!

[@mahmoodfawzi4676]

Nice and simple video, i just request you, how can we build payment gateway API for odoo as 3rd Party App, just like any payment acquires for odoo e-commerce? if you can make short video with the steps and the way will be much benefit for me. Thanks in advance

[@OdooclassVideos]

Greetings! Please reach out to me at OdooInnerCircle.com. We can schedule a strategy session to discuss.

[@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.

[@OdooclassVideos]

Greetings. My KZbin channel is mostly for sample video content and one off tips & tricks for learning Odoo. I do have full courses that I put out that provide a step-by-step path on becoming an expert Odoo integrator or developer. That said, I will look at what I can do to create better organization on my channel.

[@togarhutabarat6938]

Thank you for the video.. How can I have that fancy "restart odoo" button?

[@OdooclassVideos]

That is just using Visual Studio Code for my development environment.

[@plgmgua]

Nice!

[@WALIXGAMFOWX]

hi i have this error line 179, in __getitem__ return self.models[model_name] KeyError: 'sale.order' Which is the cause?

[@OdooclassVideos]

My first suggestion would be to make sure you have the sale application installed and designated in the manifest. Of course I don't know for sure how you filled self.models.

[@WALIXGAMFOWX]

@@OdooclassVideos thanks

[@joedeir6028]

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

[@nyanmyoaung9549]

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

[@OdooclassVideos]

Yes! Thank you! I'm trying to make sure and zoom in more.

[@krishnaniyer9793]

Would like to see how to expose Odoo APIs as secure REST APIs with JSON payloads

[@OdooclassVideos]

Thanks for the comment. I will put together a video on that. It is something that I cover extensively in my Odoo Developer Mastermind course. You can learn more about it at OdooInnerCircle.com

[@dbk9555]

Thank you 🙏

[@OdooclassVideos]

You’re welcome 😊

[@ahmedswilam1120]

Thank you for this video, can you make a video to explain how to create a json api's for mobile development?

[@OdooclassVideos]

Im glad you liked the video. Yes, I can give an example on that in just a few days. I'm actively working to release a mobile toolkit that uses a json api. Did you have a particular mobile framework you wished to target?

[@aonekris]

@@OdooclassVideos Can you target Flutter

[@OdooclassVideos]

@@aonekris That is one I already have a working toolkit for. Right now I'm working on it with my Odoo Inner Circle. Hope to share soon here on KZbin.

This is no REST API

[@Mfbzai]

Your resolution monitor is too high for a tutorial, it looks smaller and not so comfortable to watch.

[@OdooclassVideos]

Thank you for the feedback. I will quality check my future videos more closely.
