Hii Mudasir,

I encountered the same issue with setting the response status code in APIs using type='json'. To solve it, I switched my controller to type='http', which worked perfectly.

While "Cybrosys Techno Solutions Pvt.Ltd" offers a reasonable solution, it only sets the status code inside the result, not for the entire API response. Other approaches also involve some additional customizations.

The solution is simple: you can set the status code and return any response you need by using type='http' and returning request.make_response.

Take a look at the example code below:

@http.route('/api/custom_endpoint', type='http', auth='public', methods=['GET'])
def custom_endpoint(self):
    """
    A simple example of an Odoo GET API endpoint that returns a custom status code.
    :return: JSON response with status code.
    """
    # Example response data
    data = {
        'message': 'Hello, this is a custom response!',
    }
    # Convert the response data to JSON format
    data = json.dumps(data)
    # Create an HTTP response with status code 200 (OK)
    response = request.make_response(
        data,
        headers=[
            ('Content-Type', 'application/json'),
            ('Cache-Control', 'no-cache'),
        ],
        status=200  # You can change this to any status code you need
    )
    return response

Hi,

from odoo import http
from odoo.http import request
from werkzeug.wrappers import Response
import json

class YourController(http.Controller):

    @http.route('/your/route', type='json', auth='public', methods=['POST'], csrf=False)
    def your_method(self, **post):
        # Your logic to check vendor
        if not vendor:
            # Create JSON response with status code 401
            response = Response(json.dumps({'message': 'Invalid vendor'}), status=401, content_type='application/json')
            return response
Here we are importing Response from werkzeug.wrappers to get the response status.
It allow creating custom responses as shown!

Hope it helps
