It is designed to be installed alongside openbb-core and integrates into the platform's data access layer, allowing developers to query global economic indicators and related data through a unified interface.\n\nThe package is a thin extension rather than a standalone tool\u2014it requires openbb-core as a runtime dependency and is part of OpenBB's modular architecture. It has been actively maintained since its initial release in September 2023, with recent updates within the past 80 days. The AGPL-3.0-only license means any code that uses or modifies it must be open-sourced under the same terms.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using OpenBB Platform and need macroeconomic data access. The low install friction, active maintenance, and absence of known vulnerabilities make it a straightforward addition. However, the AGPL-3.0-only license requires that your application be open-source or compatible with copyleft obligations\u2014verify this constraint before adopting it in proprietary projects."},"id":"openbb-economy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openbb-economy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openbb-economy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/openbb-economy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"agpl","name":"openbb-economy","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Economy extension for OpenBB"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":89554,"position":13650,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.6.2"}
