OpenBB's Open Data Platform (ODP) is an open-source Python toolset that integrates proprietary, licensed, and public financial data sources into a unified API consumable via Python, REST, Excel, Jupyter, CLI, and MCP servers for AI agents. It serves as the 'connect once, consume everywhere' data infrastructure layer for analysts, quants, and AI applications.

Use cases

• fetch historical stock prices in python
• integrate market data vendors into one api
• expose financial data to ai agents via mcp
• build quantitative research dashboards
• pull options and crypto data into jupyter
• serve financial data over rest api
• automate data collection from the terminal

When to choose

• you need a unified python interface to many financial data providers
• you want to feed governed market data to AI agents or copilots
• you're a quant building research workflows in Python or Jupyter
• you want to avoid rebuilding data integrations for every downstream app

When to avoid

• you need a polished end-user UI - that's the commercial OpenBB Workspace, not this repo
• you only need a simple charting or backtesting library rather than a data platform
• you require a permissively licensed dependency - the license is custom (NOASSERTION)
• your use case is non-financial general data integration
