---------------
The following example is a Python program that interacts with an Odoo
-server with the library xmlrpclib.
-
-::
+server with the library ``xmlrpclib``::
import xmlrpclib
root = 'http://%s:%d/xmlrpc/' % (HOST, PORT)
- uid = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(root + 'common').login(db, username, password)
+ uid = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(root + 'common').login(DB, USER, PASS)
print "Logged in as %s (uid: %d)" % (USER, uid)
# Create a new idea
'description' : 'This is another idea of mine',
'inventor_id': uid,
}
- idea_id = sock.execute(db, uid, password, 'idea.idea', 'create', args)
+ idea_id = sock.execute(DB, uid, PASS, 'idea.idea', 'create', args)
.. exercise:: Add a new service to the client
'course_id' : course_id,
})
-.. note:: there are also a number of high-level APIs in various languages to
- access Odoo systems without *explicitly* going through XML-RPC e.g.
+JSON-RPC Library
+----------------
+
+The following example is a Python program that interacts with an Odoo server
+with the libraries ``urllib2`` and ``json``::
+
+ import json
+ import random
+ import urllib2
+
+ def json_rpc(url, method, params):
+ data = {
+ "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+ "method": method,
+ "params": params,
+ "id": random.randint(0, 1000000000),
+ }
+ req = urllib2.Request(url=url, data=json.dumps(data), headers={
+ "Content-Type":"application/json",
+ })
+ reply = json.load(urllib2.urlopen(req))
+ if reply.get("error"):
+ raise Exception(reply["error"])
+ return reply["result"]
+
+ def call(url, service, method, *args):
+ return json_rpc(url, "call", {"service": service, "method": method, "args": args})
+
+ # log in the given database
+ url = "http://%s:%s/jsonrpc" % (HOST, PORT)
+ uid = call(url, "common", "login", DB, USER, PASS)
+
+ # create a new idea
+ args = {
+ 'name' : 'Another idea',
+ 'description' : 'This is another idea of mine',
+ 'inventor_id': uid,
+ }
+ idea_id = call(url, "object", "execute", DB, uid, PASS, 'idea.idea', 'create', args)
+
+Examples can be easily adapted from XML-RPC to JSON-RPC.
