It provides standardized Pydantic-based models (Data and QueryParams classes) and an API routing mechanism (Router class) that allow developers to build extensions that integrate proprietary, licensed, and public data sources. The package generates both REST APIs and Python packages from these standardized definitions, enabling data to flow to multiple consumption surfaces: Python environments, OpenBB Workspace, Excel, MCP servers for AI agents, and REST APIs for other applications.\n\nThe package is explicitly designed as a project dependency for building and extending the OpenBB Platform, not as a standalone tool. It requires Python 3.10\u20133.13 and familiarity with FastAPI and Pydantic. Its 14 runtime dependencies include FastAPI, Uvicorn, Pydantic, and other stable web and data libraries. After installation and extension, you build the application using the openbb-build command to generate static assets and API endpoints.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building an OpenBB Platform extension or data consolidation layer and can comply with AGPL-3.0 copyleft terms. No, if you need a standalone data library or cannot open-source derivative works. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and provides well-structured infrastructure for multi-surface data integration\u2014but it is not a general-purpose library and requires significant extension work to be useful."},"id":"openbb-core","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openbb-core","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openbb-core.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/openbb-core/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"agpl","name":"openbb-core","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenBB package with core functionality."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":171034,"position":10382,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.6.13"}
