Export Odoo Company Data via API Endpoint with JSON/Excel Output Options Workflow Solution

Workflow overview

Why this workflow matters

Potentially useful as a reusable automation building block.

How it works This workflow provides an API endpoint /api/v1/get-companies that retrieves company records directly from your Odoo database. It’s built for teams who need to query or export company data — either as structured JSON for integrations or as Excel (.xlsx) for reporting. When a request is made, the workflow: Accepts query parameters (name, response_format). Validates the name input (required for company search). Fetches all matching companies from Odoo using a like filter for partial name matches. Returns results as a JSON response or Excel file depending on the response_format parameter. This makes it ideal for quickly exporting or syncing company information with other tools. Setup steps Open the Webhook node and note the endpoint /api/v1/get-companies. Connect your Odoo API credentials in the Odoo node. Optionally update the fieldsList in the Odoo node to include more company details (VAT, address, etc.). Test using a browser or Postman: /api/v1/get-companies?name=Tech&response_format=json /api/v1/get-companies?name=Tech&response_format=excel
