FinBrain Python SDK
Official Python client for the FinBrain API.
Fetch deep-learning price predictions, sentiment scores, insider trades, LinkedIn metrics, options data and more — with a single import.
Python ≥ 3.9 • requests, pandas, numpy & plotly • asyncio optional.
✨ Features
- One-line auth (
FinBrainClient(api_key="…")) - Complete endpoint coverage (predictions, sentiments, options, insider, etc.)
- Transparent retries & custom error hierarchy (
FinBrainError) - Async parity with
finbrain.aio(httpx) - CLI (
finbrain markets,finbrain predict AAPL) - Auto-version from Git tags (setuptools-scm)
- MIT-licensed, fully unit-tested
🚀 Quick start
Install the SDK:
pip install finbrain-python
Create a client and fetch data:
from finbrain import FinBrainClient
fb = FinBrainClient(api_key="YOUR_KEY") # create once, reuse below
# ---------- availability ----------
fb.available.markets() # list markets
fb.available.tickers("daily", as_dataframe=True)
# ---------- app ratings ----------
fb.app_ratings.ticker("S&P 500", "AMZN",
date_from="2025-01-01",
date_to="2025-06-30",
as_dataframe=True)
# ---------- analyst ratings ----------
fb.analyst_ratings.ticker("S&P 500", "AMZN",
date_from="2025-01-01",
date_to="2025-06-30",
as_dataframe=True)
# ---------- house trades ----------
fb.house_trades.ticker("S&P 500", "AMZN",
date_from="2025-01-01",
date_to="2025-06-30",
as_dataframe=True)
# ---------- insider transactions ----------
fb.insider_transactions.ticker("S&P 500", "AMZN", as_dataframe=True)
# ---------- LinkedIn metrics ----------
fb.linkedin_data.ticker("S&P 500", "AMZN",
date_from="2025-01-01",
date_to="2025-06-30",
as_dataframe=True)
# ---------- options put/call ----------
fb.options.put_call("S&P 500", "AMZN",
date_from="2025-01-01",
date_to="2025-06-30",
as_dataframe=True)
# ---------- price predictions ----------
fb.predictions.market("S&P 500", as_dataframe=True) # all tickers in market
fb.predictions.ticker("AMZN", as_dataframe=True) # single ticker
# ---------- news sentiment ----------
fb.sentiments.ticker("S&P 500", "AMZN",
date_from="2025-01-01",
date_to="2025-06-30",
as_dataframe=True)
📈 Plotting
Plot helpers in a nutshell
-
show– defaults to True, so the chart appears immediately. -
as_json=True– skips display and returns the figure as a Plotly-JSON string, ready to embed elsewhere.
# ---------- App Ratings Chart - Apple App Store or Google Play Store ----------
fb.plot.app_ratings("S&P 500", "AMZN",
store="app", # "play" for Google Play Store
date_from="2025-01-01",
date_to="2025-06-30")
# ---------- LinkedIn Metrics Chart ----------
fb.plot.linkedin("S&P 500", "AMZN",
date_from="2025-01-01", date_to="2025-06-30")
# ---------- Put-Call Ratio Chart ----------
fb.plot.options("S&P 500", "AMZN",
kind="put_call",
date_from="2025-01-01", date_to="2025-06-30")
# ---------- Predictions Chart ----------
fb.plot.predictions("AMZN")
# ---------- Sentiments Chart ----------
fb.plot.sentiments("S&P 500", "AMZN",
date_from="2025-01-01",
date_to="2025-06-30")
🔑 Authentication
To call the API you need an API key, obtained by purchasing a FinBrain API subscription.
(The Terminal-only subscription does not include an API key.)
- Subscribe at https://www.finbrain.tech → FinBrain API.
- Copy the key from your dashboard.
- Pass it once when you create the client:
from finbrain import FinBrainClient
fb = FinBrainClient(api_key="YOUR_KEY")
Async (currently under development)
import asyncio, os
from finbrain.aio import FinBrainAsyncClient async
def main():
async with FinBrainAsyncClient(api_key=os.getenv("FINBRAIN_API_KEY")) as fb:
data = await fb.sentiments.ticker("S&P 500", "AMZN")
print(list(data["sentimentAnalysis"].items())[:3])
asyncio.run(main())
CLI (currently under development)
export FINBRAIN_API_KEY=your_key
finbrain markets
finbrain predict AAPL --type daily
