API keys
To fully leverage the OpenBB Platform you need to get some API keys to connect with data providers. Here are the 3 options on where to set them:
- OpenBB Hub
- Runtime
- Local file
1. OpenBB Hub
Set your keys at OpenBB Hub and get your personal access token from https://my.openbb.co/app/sdk/pat to connect with your account.
>>> from openbb import obb
>>> openbb.account.login(pat="OPENBB_PAT")
>>> # Persist changes in OpenBB Hub
>>> obb.account.save()
2. Runtime
>>> from openbb import obb
>>> obb.user.credentials.fmp_api_key = "REPLACE_ME"
>>> obb.user.credentials.polygon_api_key = "REPLACE_ME"
>>> # Persist changes in ~/.openbb_platform/user_settings.json
>>> obb.account.save()
3. Local file
You can specify the keys directly in the ~/.openbb_platform/user_settings.json file.
Populate this file with the following template and replace the values with your keys:
{
"credentials": {
"fmp_api_key": "REPLACE_ME",
"polygon_api_key": "REPLACE_ME",
"benzinga_api_key": "REPLACE_ME",
"fred_api_key": "REPLACE_ME"
}
}
REST API
The OpenBB Platform comes with a ready to use REST API built with FastAPI. Start the application using this command:
uvicorn openbb_core.api.rest_api:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload
