Odoo 10 - Custom Button with Action (Posting JSON customer data help !!)

Hi i have been able to create a button in the account.invoice with the following code in xml

<record id="invoice_form_shippinglabel" model="ir.ui.view">    
            <field name="name">account.invoice.form.shippinglabel</field>   
            <field name="model">account.invoice</field>   
            <field name="inherit_id" ref="account.invoice_form"/>
            <field name="arch" type="xml">    
                <header>    
                    <button name="label" string="Print Shipping Label" class="oe_highlight"/>
                </header>    
            </field>    
</record>

Now i want to add a function after user press the button

so in my 'models.py' i have try to put this code

  def label(self):     
      data = {'ids':[12, 3, 4, 5, 6]}    
      req = urllib2.Request('https://requestb.in/1bz11jv1')    
      req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')    
      response = urllib2.urlopen(req, json.dumps(data))

so basically, i want to send some sample data to https://requestb.in/1bz11jv1

but it doesn't work when i restart odoo it give me this error in odoo.log

File "/odoo/odoo-server/addons/labelprint/models/models.py", line 14 def label(self): IndentationError: unexpected indent

Am not very sure why it cause that error i have googled about Indentation and it doesnt help at all

Also i have a little more question on if i can post json data already

how do i get information like customer.address , customer.phone, customer.name because i will be need these in sending json data

Thank you very much

It is because of your indentation. Python uses indents to separate logic.

Here is an example of proper indentation.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from odoo import models, fields, api

class ModelName(models.Model):
    _name = 'addon_name.model_name'

    field1 = fields.Char()
    field2 = fields.Char()
    field3 = fields.Char()

    @api.multi
    def test(self):
        print("HELLO")
        return

I think you also have some issues with the xml definition of your button. You probably want to specify a 'type' attribute and assign it a value of 'object'.
