What this skill does


# Odoo RPC API

## Overview

Odoo exposes a powerful external API via JSON-RPC and XML-RPC, allowing any external application to read, create, update, and delete records. This skill guides you through authenticating, calling models, and building robust integrations.

## When to Use This Skill

- Connecting an external app (e.g., Django, Node.js, a mobile app) to Odoo.
- Running automated scripts to import/export data from Odoo.
- Building a middleware layer between Odoo and a third-party platform.
- Debugging API authentication or permission errors.

## How It Works

1. **Activate**: Mention `@odoo-rpc-api` and describe the integration you need.
2. **Generate**: Get copy-paste ready RPC call code in Python, JavaScript, or curl.
3. **Debug**: Paste an error and get a diagnosis with a corrected call.

## Examples

### Example 1: Authenticate and Read Records (Python)

```python
import xmlrpc.client

url = 'https://myodoo.example.com'
db = 'my_database'
username = 'admin'
password = 'my_api_key'  # Use API keys, not passwords, in production

# Step 1: Authenticate
common = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(f'{url}/xmlrpc/2/common')
uid = common.authenticate(db, username, password, {})
print(f"Authenticated as UID: {uid}")

# Step 2: Call models
models = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(f'{url}/xmlrpc/2/object')

# Search confirmed sale orders
orders = models.execute_kw(db, uid, password,
    'sale.order', 'search_read',
    [[['state', '=', 'sale']]],
    {'fields': ['name', 'partner_id', 'amount_total'], 'limit': 10}
)
for order in orders:
    print(order)
```

### Example 2: Create a Record (Python)

```python
new_partner_id = models.execute_kw(db, uid, password,
    'res.partner', 'create',
    [{'name': 'Acme Corp', 'email': '[email protected]', 'is_company': True}]
)
print(f"Created partner ID: {new_partner_id}")
```

### Example 3: JSON-RPC via curl

```bash
curl -X POST https://myodoo.example.com/web/dataset/call_kw \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "call",
    "id": 1,
    "params": {
      "model": "res.partner",
      "method": "search_read",
      "args": [[["is_company", "=", true]]],
      "kwargs": {"fields": ["name", "email"], "limit": 5}
    }
  }'
# Note: "id" is required by the JSON-RPC 2.0 spec to correlate responses.
# Odoo 16+ also supports the /web/dataset/call_kw endpoint but
# prefer /web/dataset/call_kw for model method calls.
```

## Best Practices

- ✅ **Do:** Use **API Keys** (Settings → Technical → API Keys) instead of passwords — available from Odoo 14+.
- ✅ **Do:** Use `search_read` instead of `search` + `read` to reduce network round trips.
- ✅ **Do:** Always handle connection errors and implement retry logic with exponential backoff in production.
- ✅ **Do:** Store credentials in environment variables or a secrets manager (e.g., AWS Secrets Manager, `.env` file).
- ❌ **Don't:** Hardcode passwords or API keys directly in scripts — rotate them and use env vars.
- ❌ **Don't:** Call the API in a tight loop without batching — bulk operations reduce server load significantly.
- ❌ **Don't:** Use the master admin password for API integrations — create a dedicated integration user with minimum required permissions.

## Limitations

- Does not cover **OAuth2 or session-cookie-based authentication** — the examples use API key (token) auth only.
- **Rate limiting** is not built into the Odoo XMLRPC layer; you must implement throttling client-side.
- The XML-RPC endpoint (`/xmlrpc/2/`) does not support file uploads — use the REST-based `ir.attachment` model via JSON-RPC for binary data.
- Odoo.sh (SaaS) may block some API calls depending on plan; verify your subscription supports external API access.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
