Overview

Odooly connects to an Odoo instance through HTTP. It makes it easy to browse the application model, and to perform actions on the server. It is both an interactive shell (with pretty-printing and colors) and a client library.

Key features:

• provides an API similar to Odoo Model, through Webclient API

• supports JSON-2 API with Odoo 19 and more recent

• supports external API JSON-RPC as alternative

• compatible with Odoo 9 to 21

• single file odooly.py, no external dependency

• helpers for search, for data model introspection, etc…

• simplified syntax for search domain

• entire API accessible on the Client.env environment

• can be imported and used as a library: from odooly import Client

• supports Python 3.8 and more recent

Interactive use

Launch without any configuration. It connects to the Odoo server, local or remote:

~$ odooly https://demo.odoo.com/

Or:

~$ odooly http://127.0.0.1:8069/

Environments can also be declared in odooly.ini:

[DEFAULT]
database = odoo
username = admin

[demo]
server = http://localhost:8069/web
username = demo
password = demo

[demo/jsonrpc]
server = http://localhost:8069/jsonrpc
username = demo
password = demo

[local]
scheme = local
options = -c /path/to/odoo-server.conf --without-demo all

Connect to the Odoo server:

~$ odooly --list
~$ odooly --env demo

This is a sample session:

>>> env['res.users']
<Model 'res.users'>
>>> env['res.users'].search_count()
4
>>> crons = env['ir.cron'].with_context(active_test=False).search([])
>>> crons.read('active name')
[{'active': True, 'id': 5, 'name': 'Calendar: Event Reminder'},
 {'active': False, 'id': 4, 'name': 'Mail: Fetchmail Service'}]
>>> #
>>> env.modules('delivery')
{'uninstalled': ['delivery', 'website_sale_delivery']}
>>> env.upgrade('base')
