How do I get a list of models to use over Odoo/OpenERP XML-RPC?

I have found some examples using model = 'res.partner' but I want to work with other models. I tried res.product but that didn't work. How can I get a list of usable models?

Another way is to use Openerp Proxy lib t work via xmlrpc. It has IPython shell to debug data.

In Your case to get list of all available models just install and run openerp_proxy shell:

$ pip install openerp_proxy
$ openerp_proxy

connect to database:

>>> db = session.connect()

and print list of all models:

>>> db.registered_objects
# Here will be printed list of all registered models in database

to search for specific models You can do something like this:

>>> for model in sdb['ir.model'].search_records([('model','like','res.partner')]):
        print "{0:<20}\t{1:<30}".format(model.name, model.model)

    Partner                 res.partner                   
    Bank Accounts           res.partner.bank              
    Bank Account Type       res.partner.bank.type         
    Bank type fields        res.partner.bank.type.field   
    Partner Categories      res.partner.category          
    res.partner.title       res.partner.title

(for more info read the docs)

And in future versions some syntax sugar will be implemented)

All the models in Odoo are also tables in the postgresql database. So you also could get the description of the PostgreSQL database via autodoc.

postgresql_autodoc -h localhost -p 5432 -d database -U user

ir.model contains a list of all models. ir stands for information retrieval.

A very convenient way to get a better grasp of Odoo's XML-RPC is by using ERPpeek:

sudo pip install -U erppeek
erppeek  --server=https://example.com -d your_db -u admin -p password
your_db >>> models()
