# Odoo (via Apideck)

Access Odoo through Apideck's **CRM, Accounting** unified API — one of 21 CRM connectors that share the same method surface. Code you write here ports to Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive and 17 other CRM connectors by changing a single `serviceId` string. Apideck handles auth, pagination, rate limiting, and retries so you don't write per-tenant Odoo plumbing.

> **Beta connector.** Odoo is currently in beta on Apideck. Expect partial resource coverage and occasional mapping gaps. Always verify coverage (see below) and fall back to the Proxy API for unsupported operations.

## Quick facts

- **Apideck serviceId:** `odoo`

- **Unified APIs:** CRM, Accounting

- **Auth type:** basic

- **Status:** beta

- **Odoo docs:** https://www.odoo.com/documentation/

- **Homepage:** https://www.odoo.com/

## When to use this skill

Activate this skill when the user explicitly wants to work with **Odoo** — for example, "pull contacts in Odoo" or "sync leads in Odoo". This skill teaches the agent:

1. Which Apideck unified API covers Odoo (CRM, Accounting)

2. The correct `serviceId` to pass on every call (`odoo`)

3. Odoo-specific auth and coverage caveats

For the full method surface (parameters, pagination, filtering), use your language SDK skill:

- [`apideck-node`](../../skills/apideck-node/), [`apideck-python`](../../skills/apideck-python/), [`apideck-dotnet`](../../skills/apideck-dotnet/), [`apideck-java`](../../skills/apideck-java/), [`apideck-go`](../../skills/apideck-go/), [`apideck-php`](../../skills/apideck-php/), or [`apideck-rest`](../../skills/apideck-rest/)

For the raw OpenAPI spec:

- **CRM:** [https://specs.apideck.com/crm.yml](https://specs.apideck.com/crm.yml) · [API Explorer](https://developers.apideck.com/api-explorer?id=crm)

- **Accounting:** [https://specs.apideck.com/accounting.yml](https://specs.apideck.com/accounting.yml) · [API Explorer](https://developers.apideck.com/api-explorer?id=accounting)

## Minimal example (TypeScript)

```typescript

import { Apideck } from "@apideck/unify";

const apideck = new Apideck({

apiKey: process.env.APIDECK_API_KEY,

appId: process.env.APIDECK_APP_ID,

consumerId: "your-consumer-id",

});

// List contacts in Odoo

const { data } = await apideck.crm.contacts.list({

serviceId: "odoo",

});

```

## Portable across 21 CRM connectors

The Apideck **CRM** unified API exposes the same methods for every connector in its catalog. Switching from Odoo to another CRM connector is a one-string change — no rewrite, no new SDK.

```typescript

// Today — Odoo

await apideck.crm.contacts.list({ serviceId: "odoo" });

// Tomorrow — same code, different connector

await apideck.crm.contacts.list({ serviceId: "salesforce" });

await apideck.crm.contacts.list({ serviceId: "hubspot" });

```

This is the compounding advantage of using Apideck over integrating Odoo directly: code against the unified CRM API once, gain access to every connector in it. New connectors Apideck adds become available to your app without code changes.

- ## Authentication

+ ## Odoo via Apideck Accounting

- - **Type:** Basic auth (username/password)

- - **Managed by:** Apideck Vault — credentials are collected through the Vault modal and stored encrypted server-side.

- - **Note:** basic auth connectors often require manual rotation by the end user. If auth fails persistently, prompt them to re-enter credentials in Vault.

+ Odoo is an open-source ERP with cloud (Odoo.com) and self-hosted deployments. Broad module coverage; Apideck targets the Accounting module.

- See [`apideck-best-practices`](../../skills/apideck-best-practices/) for Vault setup, connection lifecycle, and handling re-auth flows.

+ ### Entity mapping

- ## Verifying coverage

+ | Odoo entity | Apideck Accounting resource |

+ |---|---|

+ | Customer Invoice (account.move with type "out_invoice") | `invoices` |

+ | Vendor Bill (account.move with type "in_invoice") | `bills` |

+ | Payment | `payments` |

+ | Bill Payment | `bill-payments` |

+ | Credit Note (refund) | `credit-notes` |

+ | Journal Item (account.move.line) | `journal-entries` |

+ | Account (account.account) | `ledger-accounts` |

+ | Partner (res.partner, customer) | `customers` |

+ | Partner (res.partner, supplier) | `suppliers` |

+ | Tax (account.tax) | `tax-rates` |

+ | Product | `invoice-items` |

+ | Analytic Account | `tracking-categories` |

+ | Company (res.company) | `companies`, `subsidiaries` |

+ | Bank Account | `bank-accounts` |

+ | Department | `departments` |

+ | Expense (hr.expense) | `expenses` |

- Not every CRM operation is supported by every connector. Always verify before assuming a method works:

+ ### Coverage highlights

- ```bash

- curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/connector/connectors/odoo' \

- -H "Authorization: Bearer ${APIDECK_API_KEY}" \

- -H "x-apideck-app-id: ${APIDECK_APP_ID}"

- ```

+ - ✅ Full CRUD on invoices, bills, payments, customers, suppliers

+ - ✅ Journal entries via account.move lines

+ - ✅ Analytic accounting (tracking categories)

+ - ✅ Multi-company (subsidiaries)

+ - ✅ Bank feeds for reconciliation

+ - ⚠️ Odoo has many custom modules (Studio, custom fields) — coverage varies per installation; use Proxy for module-specific models

+ - ❌ Other Odoo modules (Sales, CRM, HR, Manufacturing) — use Proxy or a module-specific connector

- See [`apideck-connector-coverage`](../../skills/apideck-connector-coverage/) for patterns around `UnsupportedOperationError` and connector-specific fallbacks.

+ ### Auth notes

- ## Escape hatch: Proxy API

+ - **Type:** Basic auth (username / API key), managed by Apideck Vault

+ - **Database binding:** Odoo users belong to one database (dbname). Multi-db setups require separate connections.

+ - **Self-hosted vs cloud:** Apideck connects to any reachable Odoo instance — works for self-hosted provided the URL is accessible.

+ - **Version sensitivity:** Odoo's model may change across versions (17 → 18 → 19). Apideck abstracts common operations; custom model access via Proxy.

- When an endpoint isn't covered by the CRM unified API, use Apideck's Proxy to call Odoo directly — Apideck injects auth headers and handles token refresh. Set `x-apideck-downstream-url` to the target endpoint on Odoo's own API:

+ ### Example: list customer invoices

+ ```typescript

+ const { data } = await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({

+ serviceId: "odoo",

+ filter: { status: "open" },

+ });

+ ```

+ ### Example: read custom Odoo model via Proxy

```bash

curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/proxy' \

-H "Authorization: Bearer ${APIDECK_API_KEY}" \

-H "x-apideck-app-id: ${APIDECK_APP_ID}" \

-H "x-apideck-consumer-id: ${CONSUMER_ID}" \

-H "x-apideck-service-id: odoo" \

- -H "x-apideck-downstream-url: <target endpoint on Odoo>" \

- -H "x-apideck-downstream-method: GET"

+ -H "x-apideck-downstream-url: /jsonrpc" \

+ -H "x-apideck-downstream-method: POST"

```

- See [Odoo's API docs](https://www.odoo.com/documentation/) for available endpoints.
