Hi,

For creating new API and handling external API's you can refer our following blogs

Creating API For External Entities In Odoo

Handling External APIs in Odoo

Odoo Official XMLRPC API Documentation

Update:

Also refer the blog regarding the configuration of Postman for sending the API requests

def get_details(self):

http = urllib3.PoolManager()

URL = 'https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/api/vehicles/DecodeVin/' + str(self.vin_number) + '?format=json&modelyear=2011'

datas = http.request('GET', URL)

datas = json.loads(datas.data.decode('utf-8'))

datas = datas.get('Results')

Hi  SSS,

Creating an API in Odoo to add customers or products and generate PDFs can be done using Odoo's built-in controller system with the @http.route decorator. You’ll define endpoints within custom modules using Odoo’s http.Controller and handle requests in JSON format. To generate PDFs, you can use Odoo's built-in QWeb templating engine or external libraries like ReportLab if you're working outside Odoo. For a pure Python setup (outside Odoo), you can create RESTful APIs using frameworks like Flask or FastAPI and generate PDFs using reportlab, WeasyPrint, or pdfkit.

To test your API in Postman, define the method (POST/GET), input the endpoint URL (e.g., http://localhost:8069/api/add_customer), and add a JSON body with the required fields. Don’t forget to include headers like Content-Type: application/json and authorization if needed.
