Overview

The OpenBB Platform provides a convenient way to access raw financial data from multiple data providers. The package comes with a ready to use REST API - this allows developers from any language to easily create applications on top of OpenBB Platform.

Installation

The command below provides access to the core functionalities behind the OpenBB Platform.

pip install openbb

This will install the following data providers:

Extension Name Description Installation Command Minimum Subscription Type Required

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:

  1. OpenBB Hub
  2. Runtime
  3. 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

Check openbb-core README for additional info.
