Integration of Odoo with FastAPI

Odoo is a popular open-source ERP platform that offers a variety of modules for different business needs. FastAPI is a modern, fast web framework for building APIs with Python. Integrating Odoo with FastAPI can provide a flexible and efficient solution for building custom API endpoints that interact with Odoo data.

In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to integrate Odoo and FastAPI to create a custom API that can perform CRUD operations on Odoo objects. We will be using Python and the odoo and fastapi libraries.

Step 1: Set up Odoo
First, you need to have an instance of Odoo set up and running. You can either install Odoo locally or use a cloud-based Odoo instance. Make sure you have the necessary credentials to access the Odoo instance, including the database name, username, and password.

Step 2: Install FastAPI and Odoo libraries
To start building the FastAPI application, you need to install the necessary libraries. You can do this using pip:

pip install fastapi
pip install odoo

Step 3: Create a FastAPI application
Next, create a new Python file for your FastAPI application. In this file, import the necessary libraries and set up a FastAPI application:

from fastapi import FastAPI
app = FastAPI()

Step 4: Connect to Odoo
To connect to your Odoo instance from the FastAPI application, you need to create a connection to the Odoo server using the odoo library. Add the following code to your FastAPI application:

from odoo import api, models, fields, registry

ODOO_HOST = 'localhost'
ODOO_PORT = 8069
ODOO_DB = 'your_database_name'
ODOO_USER = 'your_username'
ODOO_PASS = 'your_password'

db = registry(ODOO_DB).db
uid = api.Environment(db.cursor(), uid=1, context={}).user.id

Replace the variables with the correct values for your Odoo instance.

Step 5: Create API endpoints
Now, you can start creating API endpoints in your FastAPI application to interact with Odoo data. For example, you can create endpoints to get a list of all products in Odoo or create a new product.

Here is an example of creating an endpoint to get a list of all products:

@app.get("/products")
def get_products():
    product_model = models.execute_kw(db.cursor(), uid, ODOO_PASS, 'product.product', 'search_read', [[]], {'fields': ['name', 'list_price']})
    return product_model

Step 6: Run the FastAPI application
Finally, you can run your FastAPI application by using the uvicorn server. Save your FastAPI application file and run the following command in the terminal:

uvicorn your_file_name:app --reload

You can now access your FastAPI application at http://localhost:8000 and test the API endpoints to interact with Odoo data.

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to integrate Odoo and FastAPI to create a custom API for interacting with Odoo data. This integration can provide a powerful and flexible solution for customizing and extending the functionality of Odoo through RESTful APIs. Experiment with different API endpoints and Odoo objects to create a tailored solution for your business needs.
