Data Extensions
Data extensions will expand the breadth and coverage of the data available in the OpenBB Platform. Each source (provider) is its own independent extension, even if there is only one endpoint accessible. This allows every data source to be inserted or removed, at any time, without disturbing the operation of the Core components.
Functions will appear in the Python Interface and Fast API only if a supported provider, for that specific endpoint, is installed. Additional Python libraries will be installed, where required, by the extension.
Provider Coverage
The total installed coverage can be determined through the Python interface, as a dictionary.
from openbb import obb
obb.coverage.providers
Installation
All data extensions are installed with similar syntax. Published data extensions will have names beginning with openbb. For example, yFinance.
pip install openbb-yfinance
Additions and removals update the router automatically to reflect the changes when the Python interpreter is refreshed. Below is a list of data provider extensions.
Uninstall any extension with pip uninstall.
pip uninstall openbb-yfinance
