 In order to programmatically retrieve the list of the databases displayed in the
-`database manager <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_, call the method `list` of the model
-`odoo.database` via a :doc:`Web Service </developer/howtos/web_services>` call.
+`database manager <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_, call the method ``list`` of the model
+``odoo.database`` via a :doc:`/developer/reference/external_api` call.
 
-Inspired from the examples provided in the :doc:`Web Services </developer/howtos/web_services>`
-section, this is how to retrieve this list with the library ``xmlrpc.client``::
+Example::
 
-   import xmlrpc.client
+   import requests
 
-   USER = '[email protected]'
-   APIKEY = 'your_apikey'
+   APIKEY = "your_apikey"
 
-   root = 'https://www.odoo.com/xmlrpc/'
-   uid = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(root + 'common').login('openerp', USER, APIKEY)
-   sock = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(root + 'object')
-   databases_list = sock.execute('openerp', uid, APIKEY, 'odoo.database', 'list')
-
-And here is the equivalent example with JSON-RPC::
-
-   import json
-   import random
-   import urllib.request
-
-   USER = '[email protected]'
-   APIKEY = 'your_apikey'
-
-   def json_rpc(url, method, params):
-       data = {
-           'jsonrpc': '2.0',
-           'method': method,
-           'params': params,
-           'id': random.randint(0, 1000000000),
+   requests.post(
+       "https://www.odoo.com/json/2/odoo.database/list",
+       headers={
+           "Authorization": f"bearer {APIKEY}",
+           "X-Odoo-Database": "openerp",
        }
-       req = urllib.request.Request(url=url, data=json.dumps(data).encode(), headers={
-           "Content-Type": "application/json",
-       })
-       reply = json.loads(urllib.request.urlopen(req).read().decode('UTF-8'))
-       if reply.get('error'):
-           raise Exception(reply['error'])
-       return reply['result']
-
-   def call(url, service, method, *args):
-       return json_rpc(url, 'call', {'service': service, 'method': method, 'args': args})
-
-   url = 'https://www.odoo.com/jsonrpc'
-   uid = call(url, 'common', 'login', 'openerp', USER, APIKEY)
-   databases_list = call(url, 'object', 'execute', 'openerp', uid, APIKEY, 'odoo.database', 'list')
+       json={},
+   )
