If you want to upload a binary image to Odoo using API..here are the steps: controllers/main.py # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from odoo.tools.translate import _ from odoo import http from odoo.http import request from odoo.addons import web from time import strftime import functools import datetime import json import base64 import sys import copy from dateutil import parser import logging from operator import itemgetter logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) def serialize_exception(f):     @functools.wraps(f)     def wrap(*args, **kwargs):         try:             return f(*args, **kwargs)         except Exception, e:             logger.debug("An exception occured during an http request")             #se = _serialize_exception(...

In Odoo you can write web-services for the outside world. Let's discuss how it can be done using controllers. Suppose I need a cross-domain API that will return data in JSON format. For that, we have to enable CORS and have to setup nginx reverse proxy . Example: API to send teachers data from Odoo: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from odoo.tools.translate import _ from odoo import http from odoo.http import request import json import sys class odoo_public_data(http.Controller):     @http.route('/get/teachers', type='http', methods=['GET'], auth="public")     def get_teachers(self, **kwargs):         teacher_model = request.env['dps.teacher']         teacher_ids = teacher_model.sudo().search([])         teacher_list = {'status': 1, 'data': []}         try:             if teacher_ids:                 for tea...

Let's discuss how to set nginx reverse proxy in odoo Why we need revese proxy? Odoo runs on 8069 port by default and if you want to route it through other port, say 80 we can use nginx reverse proxy for that. It will also help to handle web services, if any, your odoo instance is providing to outside world. What to do? 1. Install nginx 2. Create virtual host for your website/odoo instance. Let's say you want to run it on myodoo.com. Please create config file at location: /etc/nginx/sites-available/myodoo.domain.com CREATE symbolic link for this at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/myodoo.domain.com Following is the code for ssl enabled config file upstream myodoo {     server 127.0.0.1:8069; } server {         listen 443 default;         server_name myodoo.domain.com;         access_log /var/log/nginx/oddo.access.log;         error_log /var/log/nginx/oddo.error.log...
