Every API request requires a valid, user-specific token generated through Odoo's authentication framework. Tokens can be refreshed, expired, or revoked at any time.
Why it matters: Eliminates password-sharing risks and gives IT teams full control over programmatic data access.
Perform all standard data operations — create records, retrieve filtered datasets, update fields, and delete entries — through clean RESTful endpoints.
Why it matters: Developers use familiar HTTP methods without learning Odoo-specific RPC protocols, cutting integration time by 60%+.
Administrators define exactly which Odoo models are accessible via the API, and which CRUD operations are allowed per model.
Why it matters: Enforces the principle of least privilege, ensuring external systems only touch data they need.
A built-in Swagger UI provides a browser-based interface to explore endpoints, view request/response schemas, and execute live test calls.
Why it matters: Accelerates developer onboarding and eliminates guesswork during integration planning.
Create, activate, deactivate, refresh, expire, and limit API keys — all from a centralized dashboard within Odoo Settings.
Why it matters: Provides IT governance over the entire API lifecycle without external identity management tools.
Set per-user daily request limits to prevent abuse, protect server resources, and ensure fair usage across all API consumers.
Why it matters: Safeguards production Odoo performance during peak traffic or misbehaving integrations.
Every API call is logged with endpoint, HTTP method, user identity, timestamp, and response status — providing a complete audit trail.
Why it matters: Meets compliance requirements, simplifies troubleshooting, and identifies unauthorized access attempts.
Handle large datasets gracefully with configurable page sizes, ensuring responses remain fast and memory-efficient regardless of volume.
Why it matters: Prevents timeout errors and memory overflows when syncing thousands of records.
Download a pre-built Postman collection with sample requests for every endpoint, enabling immediate testing without manual setup.
Why it matters: Reduces time-to-first-successful-call from hours to minutes for development teams.
Includes translations for German, French, Spanish, and Japanese — ensuring international teams manage API configurations in their preferred language.
Why it matters: Removes language barriers for global organizations deploying Odoo across multiple regions.
