What it is and what it does
openbb-crypto is an extension module for the OpenBB Platform that adds cryptocurrency data retrieval functionality. It integrates with openbb-core to provide a set of commands for accessing crypto market data through a standardized interface, allowing developers to query digital asset information programmatically.
The package is designed as a plug-in component within the OpenBB ecosystem, meaning it extends the platform's capabilities rather than functioning as a standalone tool. It requires openbb-core as its only runtime dependency and supports modern Python versions (3.10 through 3.14). The extension is actively maintained and carries an AGPL-3.0-only license, which imposes copyleft obligations on derivative works.
Use it for
- Retrieve cryptocurrency price, volume, and market data for analysis or trading applications
- Build financial dashboards or reporting tools that include real-time or historical crypto market information
- Integrate crypto data feeds into quantitative research or backtesting workflows via the OpenBB Platform
- Develop automated monitoring or alerting systems for cryptocurrency market movements
- Access standardized crypto data through a unified API rather than managing multiple exchange or data provider connections
