What it is and what it does
openbb-benzinga is an extension that plugs Benzinga's financial data service into the OpenBB Platform. It acts as a provider bridge, allowing users of the OpenBB ecosystem to query Benzinga's market data, news, and other financial information through the platform's standard interface rather than calling Benzinga's API directly.
The package is a thin integration layer—it depends only on openbb-core and is distributed as a pure Python wheel, making it straightforward to install. It's actively maintained and supports current Python versions (3.10 through 3.14). Users who already work within the OpenBB Platform can add this extension to expand their data sources without learning a separate API.
Use it for
- Add Benzinga as a data source to an existing OpenBB Platform workflow without writing custom API integration code
- Query financial news and market events from Benzinga alongside other OpenBB data providers
- Build multi-source financial analysis tools that treat Benzinga data as one provider among many in the OpenBB ecosystem
