If it works, do not forget to mark the answer as correct.

Thanks, that worked. But is there any documentation about order of the parameters?

How would I know (except testing it myself) that there is method, followed by record rules, then fields, then offset, then limit? Like this:

"search_read",[["id", "=", "177"]],["id", "name", "email"],0,3

In a typical xmlrpc request parametrs like limit or fields are inside object with a assigned names, so the order does not really matters.

The only way to understand the order of the parameters is by reading the code of the api, you can reffer to Odoo's official documentation but that is not always the best way to go, for example for your request you need to find the code of the search_read method.

that can be found in odoo/odoo/api.py here is the diretct link to the method https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/13.0/odoo/models.py#L4799

All of Odoo's ORM core methods are in that file and they are very well documented.

additionally you can take a look at this Quora explanation about positional arguments:

hope it helps.
