I can not find out on this forum if node-red support OData (i mean, if some node or logic exists or if i need to implement myself.. because i would avoid this).

I looked up what OData is out of curiosity and if there's any Node-RED custom nodes implementing it. I didn't find any but I there was some NPM modules for it you could either use in a function node or create a custom node wrapping some of these modules.
OData client:
- [https://www.npmjs.com/package/odata](https://www.npmjs.com/package/odata)
- [https://www.npmjs.com/package/odata-client](https://www.npmjs.com/package/odata-client)
OData REST API:
- [https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-odata](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-odata)
If you need a client support, the first node module seemed pretty nice in syntax and could quite nicely be used as is inside a function node in my opinion.
I hope this answers your question.

Yes thanks.
I also have not find any node that support OData in my previous search but hoped i was wrong.
I'm a node-red newby (node in general) so i really hoped that something similar already exists.
Bytheway i would dig into how to build a node, thanks again.

If you're planning starting to build a node for it, I suggest you first post the idea and goals on the "Creating nodes" part of the forum. You might get good tips on where to look for examples etc.
I believe it'd require good amount of planning to find an intuitive approach to port the ideas in a "Node-RED way".
