pyodoo-client 19.0.2

Odoo JSON-2 API client for Odoo 19+

pyodoo-client (Odoo 19+ JSON-2)

Python client for Odoo JSON-2 API (/json/2) targeting Odoo 19+.

Features

• JSON-2 model calls with named payloads.
• ORM-like model access (client.model("res.partner")).
• OdooEntity convenience wrapper (save, delete, refresh).
• Context layering (default_context, with_context, per-call context).
• Runtime debug mode toggle:
  • debug=False: returns safe defaults and stores errors.
  • debug=True: raises exceptions.
• Database service wrappers for /web/version and /web/database/*.

Installation

pip install pyodoo-client

Quick Start

from pyodoo_client import OdooClient

odoo = OdooClient(
    url="https://mycompany.example.com",
    db="mycompany",
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    debug=False,
)

partners = odoo.model("res.partner").search_read({
    "context": {"lang": "en_US"},
    "domain": [
        ["name", "ilike", "%deco%"],
        ["is_company", "=", True],
    ],
    "fields": ["name"],
})

API Overview

OdooClient

• OdooClient(url, api_key=None, key=None, db=None, timeout=30, verify_ssl=True, user_agent="pyodoo-client", debug=False, default_context=None)
• model(model_name)
• set_debug(bool)
• set_default_context(dict) / update_default_context(dict)
• call_model(model_name, method, payload=None, context=None, debug=None, default=None)
• call_web(method, path, ...)
• database service property

OdooModel

• with_context(context=None, **kwargs)
• with_company(company) (alias for setting company context)
• set_debug(bool)
• execute(method, *args, **kwargs)
• CRUD helpers: search, search_read, read, create, write, unlink, fields_get

Context helpers:

partners = odoo.model("res.partner")

# Dict style
partners_en = partners.with_context({"lang": "en_US", "tz": "UTC"})

# Kwargs style (equivalent)
partners_fr = partners.with_context(lang="fr_FR", tz="Europe/Paris")

# Company alias (maps to context keys)
partners_c7 = partners.with_company(7)
# -> context includes: {"allowed_company_ids": [7], "company_id": 7}

OdooEntity

• id, exists(), refresh()
• get_data(fields=None)
• save(), delete()

Compatibility Notes

• For common ORM methods, limited positional compatibility is provided.
• For custom methods, use named dict payloads:

model = odoo.model("your.model")
result = model.your_method({"param_a": 1, "param_b": "x"})

JSON-2 does not support positional arguments for method parameters.

Database Service

version = odoo.database.version()
dbs = odoo.database.list()
exists = odoo.database.db_exist("mycompany")

Includes wrappers:

• version, server_version, list, db_exist
• create_database, duplicate_database, drop
• change_admin_password, backup, restore, neutralize_database

Error Handling

• Last error available on client.error or model.error.
• Set debug=True to raise exceptions immediately.

Supported Odoo Range

• Intended for Odoo 19+ using JSON-2 API.
• RPC deprecation in Odoo 20 is accounted for by using /json/2 transport.
