HTTP Request on Server Action

Question

Hey!
I've read this post: https://www.odoo.com/es_ES/forum/ayuda-1/post-to-external-url-from-server-action-99309 and asked for some help there but got none, also I cannot continue the conversation there since i don't have enough karma. My question is how can i do an external HTTP request on a Server Action?, I've tried with Python Requests like:
```
requests.get("http://example.com")
```
but i get:
ValueError: <class 'NameError'>: "name 'requests' is not defined" while evaluating I've tried inst

Hello,
In server actions I don't believe this is possible, when using requests you need to import the requests python library.
I have found the best way to achieve what you need is to create a custom module with a model that extends the model you want the server action to run on and define a function. Eg Def call_endpoint(self):
Then you can call this function in the server action you call this function using record.call_endpoint() and you request call will be in this function.
If you need furth

The only Python libraries you can access in a Server Action are: datetime, dateutil, time, timezone.

See https://www.odoo.com/documentation/14.0/reference/actions.html#evaluation-context - to use other libraries, write a module that creates an action that you can then call, review the base_geolocalize module for an idea (this module leverages Open StreetMap)
