It can run either the default OpenBB Platform API or a custom FastAPI application as a backend connector for OpenBB Workspace. The package provides a command-line entry point (openbb-api) that wraps uvicorn configuration, handles widget schema generation from FastAPI endpoints, and supports SSL/TLS setup for HTTPS deployment.\n\nThe package is designed for developers building custom data backends or extending the OpenBB ecosystem. It automatically generates widget definitions from FastAPI endpoint docstrings and type hints, allowing endpoints to render as markdown, table, or metric widgets in the Workspace UI. It supports factory functions, custom instance names, and fine-grained control over which API routes are exposed to the widget builder.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building or extending an OpenBB Workspace backend or need to launch the OpenBB Platform API. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and provides a clean CLI for server setup. The AGPL-3.0 license is a hard constraint for proprietary use; confirm compatibility with your project's licensing strategy before installing."},"id":"openbb-platform-api","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openbb-platform-api","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openbb-platform-api.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/openbb-platform-api/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"agpl","name":"openbb-platform-api","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenBB Platform API: Launch script and widgets builder for the Open Data Platform REST API and Workspace Backend Connector."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":87728,"position":13773,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.6"}
