Fetch Odoo customer data and export to JSON or Excel

Odoo Customers API – Export to JSON or Excel

Odoo Customers API – Export to JSON or Excel provides a simple way to fetch customer records from your Odoo database and get them back either as a structured JSON response or a downloadable Excel (.xlsx) file.

⚙️ What it does

• Listens for HTTP GET requests on the endpoint /api/v1/get-customers.
• Checks for the required name parameter and builds a search filter automatically.
• Queries the res.partner model to return only customer contacts (is_company = false).
• Delivers results in JSON by default, or as an Excel (.xlsx) export when response_format=excel is included.

📥 Parameters

• name — Required. Used for partial matching on customer names (via Odoo’s Like filter).
• response_format — Optional. Accepts json (default) or excel.
