# 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 os import xmlrpc.client url = 'https://myodoo.example.com' db = 'my_database' username = 'admin' password = os.environ["ODOO_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,

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill odoo-rpc-api --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
