  • Enable the API.
  • Create credentials to use in Odoo.
  • Select Web browser (Javascript) as calling source and User data as kind of data.
  • Then you can create a Client ID. Enter the name of the application (e.g. Odoo) and the allowed pages on which you will be redirected. The Authorized JavaScript origin is your Odoo's instance URL.
