Introduction
The JSON-RPC API module for Odoo offers a robust, standardized way to interact with Odoo from external systems using JSON-RPC. Rather than relying solely on XML-RPC or custom REST endpoints, this module centralizes RPC calls over JSON, allowing clients to call model methods (search, read, write, create, unlink) and custom business logic in a consistent format. It respects Odoo’s permission rules, record rules, and security layers—preserving integrity and control during integration.
Key Features
Provide a JSON-RPC endpoint for Odoo allowing CRUD operations on models
Support calling arbitrary model methods (execute_kw style) via JSON requests
Maintain Odoo’s built-in access control, record rules, and ACL enforcement
Return structured JSON responses including errors, result, and context
Support batching or multiple RPC calls per request (if implemented)
Compatibility with JSON-RPC client libraries in various languages
Benefits
Provides a lightweight, language-agnostic API for external integration
Simplifies building external applications, services or mobile clients that interact with Odoo
Centralizes access through a controlled RPC interface, reducing need for many REST endpoints
Respects security model, so integrations can't circumvent permissions
Enables faster setup of integrations without custom endpoints per model
Compatibility & Technical Details
Technical Name: odoo_json_rpc
Required Modules: Base / Core (rpc, http), Web / JSON controllers
License: As declared in the module manifest (likely Odoo Proprietary or OPL)
Installation Steps:
Install the JSON-RPC module in your Odoo instance.
Ensure web / RPC configuration allows POST requests to the JSON-RPC endpoint.
Configure access rights so that API users have appropriate model permissions.
Use the JSON-RPC API endpoint (e.g. /jsonrpc) to send requests such as authenticate, execute (object calls), etc.
Handle JSON responses including result or error structures.
ODOO JSON RPC
Access Odoo's Method and Data anytime, anywhere through JSON
This module provides an API to access records by using Odoo's default methods or even custom methods created in Odoo by using JSON. So what is new about JSON? Let us help you understand benefits of using JSON.

- Lightweight
- Easy Integratoin
- Fast Processing
- Easy Response Handling
- Easy to parse
- Reliable
- More compact than XML and can be easily loaded
- More structural information in form of dictionary
1. Setup for Token
Initially, we need to generate a token, i.e an authentication key that will be used to perform various operations to Odoo data. Once token will be generated it can be seen in Odoo Settings alog with that user details.
authenticate_url =
'http://localhost:7019/json-call/user_authenticate'
headers = {
'Content-Type': "application/json",
}
data = {
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"params": {
"login":
"admin",//Odoo User name
"password":
'admin',//Password of user
"db":
'odoo_databases',//
}
}
2. Setup Token
Once you will recive token from json request as like above image just go to the Setting -> JSON RPC -> Token. Set the token and user fields.
3. Creating Records
When creating any record, send an JSON call to the server with required details and the token that has been generated. Define the model name of which any record has to be created and the data that has to be set. Once the call to server will be made through JSON, it will return the ID of record from Odoo.
4. Created records in Odoo
Created records in Odoo.
5. Editing Records
Records can be altered from the JSON call, we just have to pass write method and ID of that particular record that has to be changed along with the changes we want to change.
6. Edited record in Odoo
With just a single call of API, Record can be altered as per requirement. In the image, Record has been updated with email id.
7. Removing Records
To remove any record, just make a API call to Odoo server with unlink method and the ID of record that has to be removed. It will return response as 'True' once record will be deleted.

JSON-RPC is a remote procedure call (RPC) protocol which is used to communicate with apps which you run in your computer/system. The HTTP protocol is used for remote procedure calls, and JSON for data representation. It's written in JavaScript.
