It acts as a data access layer, letting you query stock prices, fundamentals, options chains, ownership structures, analyst estimates, and discovery data through a unified interface. The extension depends on openbb-core, which provides the platform infrastructure.\n\nYou install it as a standard Python package and access its functionality through the OpenBB app object. It's designed for developers building financial analysis tools, research workflows, or dashboards that need structured access to equity data. The modular design (calendar, compare, darkpool, discovery, estimates, fundamental, options, ownership, price, shorts) means you can work with specific data types without loading unnecessary code.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using the OpenBB Platform and need equity data access. The low install friction, active maintenance, and modular design make it a natural fit for financial workflows. However, the AGPL-3.0-only license is a hard blocker for closed-source commercial applications. Verify that the specific data providers and coverage meet your needs before committing to the platform."},"id":"openbb-equity","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openbb-equity","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openbb-equity.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/openbb-equity/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"agpl","name":"openbb-equity","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Equity extension for OpenBB"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":88810,"position":13702,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.6.2"}
