openbb-commodity

What it is and what it does

openbb-commodity is an extension module for the OpenBB Platform that adds commodity-related data commands to the platform's command interface. It functions as a plugin that integrates with openbb-core, the platform's foundation library, to expose commodity market data through a unified API.

The extension is designed for developers and financial analysts who work within the OpenBB ecosystem and need commodity data as part of a larger financial data workflow. It has low installation friction, depends only on openbb-core, and is actively maintained with support for modern Python versions (3.10 through 3.14). No known security vulnerabilities are recorded.

Use it for:

• Access commodity market data through OpenBB Platform commands for financial analysis workflows
• Integrate commodity pricing and information into trading or portfolio monitoring applications
• Query commodity-related data as part of a broader OpenBB Platform extension ecosystem
• Build financial dashboards or reports that include commodity market information
