MuK REST API for Odoo
A customizable Restful API for Odoo
MuK IT GmbH - www.mukit.at

Overview
Enables a REST API for the Odoo server. The API has routes to authenticate and retrieve a token. Afterwards, a set of routes to interact with the server are provided. The API can be used by any language or framework which can make an HTTP requests and receive responses and works with both the Community and the Enterprise Edition.

- Documentation
- FAQs
In case the module should be active in every database just change
the auto install flag to
True
. To activate the routes even if no database is selected the module
should be loaded right at the server start. This can be done by
editing the configuration file or passing a load parameter to the
start script.
Parameter:
--load=web,muk_rest

Testing the API
In addition to the sample code, the API can also be tested using our demo page. A short explanation video will help you to get started. You can use the following credentials for authentication:
Client ID: MobileApplicationFlowDemoClientKey
User: demo
Password: demo
Custom Endpoints
In addition to the existing API endpoints, more can easily be added. It is not necessary to write any kind of code. New endpoints can be created in the backend and are immediately available through the API.
Different types of endpoints can be created. For example the domain evaluation can be used to query certain data and return it via the API.

Contect to the API
Since the API follows the OAuth1 and OAuth2 standards, it is advisable to use a suitable client that can be found in almost every programming language. A list of some of them can be found at this link.
import json import requests from requests_oauthlib import OAuth2Session from oauthlib.oauth2 import LegacyApplicationClient client_id = 'LegacyApplicationFlowDemoClientKey' client_secret = 'LegacyApplicationFlowDemoClientSecret' token_url = 'https://demo12.mukit.at/api/authentication/oauth2/token' username = 'demo' password = 'demo' scope = ['all'] oauth = OAuth2Session( client=LegacyApplicationClient(client_id=client_id) ) token = oauth.fetch_token( token_url=token_url, username=username, password=password, client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret ) print(oauth.get("https://demo12.mukit.at/api/user").json())
Find more examples about how to connect to the API via a OAuth client in the documentation.
Extend the API
Even if the API is extended using Python code, the REST API framework provides a number of helpers. Keep in mind that if these extensions are included in a new module, it may also have to be loaded as a global module to make the created endpoints available without a selected database.
from odoo import http from odoo.http import request, Response from odoo.addons.muk_rest import tools from odoo.addons.muk_rest.utils.json import ResponseEncoder class ModelController(odoo.http.Controller): @odoo.http.route([ '/api/myapp/myroute' ], auth="none", type='http', methods=['GET'], csrf=False) @tools.common.parse_exception @tools.common.ensure_database @tools.common.ensure_module() @tools.security.protected() def myroute(self, **kw): result = ... content = json.dumps(result, sort_keys=True, indent=4, cls=ResponseEncoder) return Response(content, content_type='application/json;charset=utf-8', status=200)
Read more about creating your own API and how to use the provided helpers in the documentation.

Restful API
Enables a REST API for the Odoo server. The API has routes to authenticate and retrieve a token. Afterwards, a set of routes to interact with the server are provided.
Requirements
OAuthLib
A generic, spec-compliant, thorough implementation of the OAuth request-signinglogic for Python. To install OAuthLib please follow the instructions or install the library via pip.
pip install oauthlib
Installation
To install this module, you need to:
Download the module and add it to your Odoo addons folder. Afterward, log on to your Odoo server and go to the Apps menu. Trigger the debug mode and update the list by clicking on the "Update Apps List" link. Now install the module by clicking on the install button.
Another way to install this module is via the package management for Python (PyPI).
To install our modules using the package manager make sure odoo-autodiscover is installed correctly. Then open a console and install the module by entering the following command:
pip install --extra-index-url https://nexus.mukit.at/repository/odoo/simple <module>
The module name consists of the Odoo version and the module name, where underscores are replaced by a dash.
Module:
odoo<version>-addon-<module_name>
Example:
sudo -H pip3 install --extra-index-url https://nexus.mukit.at/repository/odoo/simple odoo11-addon-muk-utils
Once the installation has been successfully completed, the app is already in the correct folder. Log on to your Odoo server and go to the Apps menu. Trigger the debug mode and update the list by clicking on the "Update Apps List" link. Now install the module by clicking on the install button.
The biggest advantage of this variant is that you can now also update the app using the "pip" command. To do this, enter the following command in your console:
pip install --upgrade --extra-index-url https://nexus.mukit.at/repository/odoo/simple <module>
When the process is finished, restart your server and update the application in Odoo. The steps are the same as for the installation only the button has changed from "Install" to "Upgrade".
You can also view available Apps directly in our repository and find a more detailed installation guide on our website.
For modules licensed under OPL-1, you will receive access data when you purchase the module. If the modules were not purchased directly from MuK IT please contact our support (support@mukit.at) with a confirmation of purchase to receive the corresponding access data.
Upgrade
To upgrade this module, you need to:
Download the module and add it to your Odoo addons folder. Restart the server and log on to your Odoo server. Select the Apps menu and upgrade the module by clicking on the upgrade button.
If you installed the module using the "pip" command, you can also update the module in the same way. Just type the following command into the console:
pip install --upgrade --extra-index-url https://nexus.mukit.at/repository/odoo/simple <module>
When the process is finished, restart your server and update the application in Odoo, just like you would normally.
Configuration
In case the module should be active in every database just change the auto install flag to True. To activate the routes even if no database is selected the module should be loaded right at the server start. This can be done by editing the configuration file or passing a load parameter to the start script.
Parameter: --load=web,muk_rest
To configure this module, you need to:
- Go to Settings -> Restful API -> Dashboard. Here you can see an overview of all your APIs.
- Click on Create or go to either Restful API -> OAuth1 or Restful API -> OAuth2 to create a new API.
Usage
This module provides a set of routes to interact with the system via HTTP requests. Currently it is not possible to send requests with the content type "application/json" due to a limitation of the Odoo framework. Take a look at the clients and examples or open the documentation to get a detailed description of every available route.

OAuth 2 Flow Authentication WebApplicationClient
Hi, will you have the sample script from the web application client?
I was creating a script based on the Legacy and Bancked Client example, but I can't get the token because I need to generate the parameter that fetch_token () needs, I need help
Code snippet:
API REST not production ambient
how can I start the script in my local odoo without using https: //
I already tried using verify = False but have had no positive results :(
Re: API REST not production ambient
https://github.com/muk-it/muk_docs/blob/13.0/muk_rest/faqs/faqs.md
Thanks Mathias for your kind response. we are using odoo13 community version. Can we use v13 module of this or v14? and one more thing token based login functionality is also available in v13 module?
This modules suports token based Api access?
Re: This modules suports token based Api access?
The API supports OAuth 1 as well as OAuth 2 and both support login via an access token. With version 14.0 there is also the possibility to log in using the new API token feature from Odoo.
Can we use this module with Ecommerce,sales and inventory module?
Re: Can we use this module with Ecommerce,sales and inventory module?
The API allows access to all models and public functions. Therefore the modules ecommerce, sales and inventory can be accessed as well.
Can we use this module as a rest api for a react based front end app?
Re: Can we use this module as a rest api for a react based front end app?
Yes, the OAuth2 oauth2 authorization code flow or implicit flow is intended for web and mobile applications. Both are programmed according to the standard, so you can see which one better suits your needs.
Just a quick question
Does this work on an odoo server with multiple databases?
How do I select the database in the end point url?
Re: Just a quick question
Yes it works in a multi database setup. See: https://github.com/muk-it/muk_docs/blob/13.0/muk_rest/faqs/faqs.md#why-do-the-endpoints-return-a-404-page
Module working on Version 13
Could you please confirm me that this module works on Odoo 13.0+e (Enterprise Edition) version?
Re: Module working on Version 13
The API can be used on CE as well as EE.
Muk Rest-API for Kotlin Android?
Dear Muk-IT team, Hi, Kindly advice for using Muk Rest API for kotlin Android client? Thanks in advance. GreenholeTech
Re: Muk Rest-API for Kotlin Android?
Unfortunately I have no experience with Kotlin myself, but in Java I know some REST clients that are very easy to use. I can well imagine that some of them are also available in Kotlin.
hi, do we have api for website.
not for /web api for website user and website sale ecommerce
Re: hi, do we have api for website.
The API is generic, so there are no additional routes for the website, instead all public methods of the Odoo ORM are exposed through the API.
