Download reports¶
Another nice feature is the reports generation with the
report property.
The list method allows you to list
all reports available on your Odoo server (classified by models), while the
download method will
retrieve a report as a file (in PDF, HTML… depending of the report).
To list available reports:
>>> odoo.report.list()
{u'account.invoice': [{u'name': u'Duplicates', u'report_type': u'qweb-pdf', u'report_name': u'account.account_invoice_report_duplicate_main'}, {u'name': u'Invoices', u'report_type': u'qweb-pdf', u'report_name': u'account.report_invoice'}], u'res.partner': [{u'name': u'Aged Partner Balance', u'report_type': u'qweb-pdf', u'report_name': u'account.report_agedpartnerbalance'}, {u'name': u'Due Payments', u'report_type': u'qweb-pdf', u'report_name': u'account.report_overdue'}], ...}
To download a report:
>>> report = odoo.report.download('account.report_invoice', [1])
The method will return a file-like object, you will have to read its content in order to save it on your file-system:
>>> with open('invoice.pdf', 'w') as report_file:
... report_file.write(report.read())
...
