The WPSR covers 13 high-level petroleum categories including production, stocks, imports, and prices, sourced from EIA's static Excel files. The STEO provides forecasted energy market data across multiple tables covering oil, natural gas, coal, electricity, and macroeconomic indicators.\n\nThe package requires registration with EIA to obtain a free API key, which can be configured via the OpenBB Hub, a JSON settings file, or programmatically in the current session. Data is returned in a flat, tabular format suitable for pivot tables and SQL storage. The petroleum status report does not require an API key, while most STEO endpoints do.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using the OpenBB Platform and need access to official U.S. energy data. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and provides access to authoritative EIA datasets. However, the AGPL-3.0 license restricts use in proprietary closed-source projects, and you must obtain a free EIA API key to use most endpoints. Not suitable as a standalone library\u2014it is a provider extension for OpenBB."},"id":"openbb-us-eia","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openbb-us-eia","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openbb-us-eia.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/openbb-us-eia/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"agpl","name":"openbb-us-eia","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The U.S. Energy Information Administration is committed to its free and open data by making it available through an Application Programming Interface (API) and its open data tools.
