How to access external API given by someone else from Odoo 11?

Question

Hello, everyone!
So, I have a little question. I need to consume an external API provided by a client from my company. I'm searching a lot and I can't find how to do this, the only thing I can manage to find is how to develop an API to be consumed by others, but I need the exact opposite. I just want to take some info I have and be able to send data to this external API. I really hope that someone could help me, 'cause I'm pretty confused on how to do it. If there are some documentation or anyth

you need python-requests library get or post data to external API
https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/ [1]
In standard odoo code, there are many examples available. just global search `requests.post` or requests.get` keyword you will find many examples like
https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/11.0/addons/google_drive/models/google_drive.py#L95 [2]
Note: there is no need to write any controller for it you can use it anywhere in the codebase

Hi,
Not sure what exactly you are looking for, If you are looking how to fetch the data from Odoo database, you can go through the odoo documentation:  External API [1]
Along with it, to fetch value and update in the database, you can make use of the controllers too, see an example here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGvuRbCyytk [2]
Thanks
