# Usage

## Authentication

To authenticate you need to `POST` a request on `[ODOO HOST]/session/auth/login` with the following body:

    {
        "db": [DB_NAME],
        "login": [LOGIN],
        "password": [PASSWORD]
    }

`"db"` is not mandatory if Odoo is able to determine it unequivocally (e.g. single database server or `dbfilter` parameter). If the authentication is successful, the response will contain (in addition to the usual response of the JSON-RPC authentication):

    {
        ...
        "session": {
            "sid": "ff6b4bac7a590e7960abfc0ac38361433ecac1d6",
            "expires_at": "2021-09-21 16:53:56"
        }
    }

This `sid` value can then be sent in subsequent requests in the following ways:

- header `X-Openerp-Session-Id`
- cookie named session_id
- request param session_id

## Logout

To logout you need to `POST` a request on `[ODOO HOST]/session/auth/logout` with an empty body.
