Get external Id from an external api

Question

Hi, I'm trying to retrieve data from odoo using an external api. but I'm having problems when I try to get the external Id. I can't find the corresponding field. could you help me with this? thank you.

here's my code , it's just missing the external id and I don't know how to access it.
partner_rec= models.execute_kw(db, uid, password,  'res.partner' ,  'read' , [partners], { 'fields' : [ 'display_name' , 'phone' , 'email' , 'create_date' , 'zip' , 'activity_ids' , 'city' , 'country_id' ]})

The external id as far as I understand is not stored in the res.partner model. It is stored for all objects in the ir.model.data model.
you can query this model on the Name field (Name= External ID) and from that get the ResId and the Model fields which contain the Id of the record and the Model this Id belongs to. Similarly, by querying on ResId and Model, you can get the external Id from the Name field.
You can check the contents of this table by looking in Settings - Technical - Sequences&Ide

Hi Celia,
You can achieve it by including the x_external_id field in the fields parameter when making the read request.
Try this
partner_rec = models.execute_kw(
db, uid, password, 'res.partner', 'read', [partners],
{'fields': ['display_name', 'phone', 'email', 'create_date', 'zip', 'activity_ids', 'city', 'country_id', 'x_external_id']}
) I hope this helps you.
