Hello,

I'm developing an app which requires getting PDF of invoices from External API.


I'm able to generate a download link using account.move.action_invoice_download_pdf method, but it only works with a logged user within a web browser, if i get this url via postman, I receive the login page html.


I tried to add the bearer token in the Authorization header, it doesn't work.


So I'd like to know if there is a method which allows to directly download a report/pdf via API.

I tried acount.move.action_print_pdf, I receive 

{

"jsonrpc": "2.0",

"id": null,

"result": {

"context": {

"active_ids": [

161

]

},

"data": null,

"type": "ir.actions.report",

"report_name": "account.report_invoice_with_payments",

"report_type": "qweb-pdf",

"report_file": "account.report_invoice_with_payments",

"name": "Facture PDF"

}

}


then I try ir.actions.report.report_action like this: 


{

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "call",

  "params": {

    "service": "object",

    "method": "execute",

    "args": [

      "{{ _.db_name }}",

      2,

      "{{ _.api_key }}",

      "ir.actions.report",

      "report_action",

[161]

,  { "model": "account.move" },

"account.report_invoice_with_payments"

    ]

  }

}



But I receive the error message: "cannot access local variable 'active_ids' where it is not associated with a value"

There is not documentation explaining how to do that, I'm reading the GitHub but still didn't find any solution...

That's expected behavior.

The endpoint is designed to work within a logged-in web session. If you're accessing it via Postman or another external client, you first need to authenticate.

By default, Odoo uses session-based authentication, which means it expects a valid user session (i.e., cookie-based, from a browser login). Simply providing a bearer token won't work unless you’ve implemented a proper token-based authentication mechanism.

If you want to call this API from an external system, here are a few approaches:

  1. Use session authentication: First log in to Odoo using a POST request to /web/session/authenticate, get the session ID from the response, and use that in subsequent requests via the Cookie header.
  2. Implement token-based access: You can expose your own controller (using @http.route) and implement token-based authentication logic, or use a module like Restful API (by OCA) that supports token-based auth.
