openbb-econdb
EconDB extension for OpenBB
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are already using the OpenBB Platform and need economic data access. The package has low install friction, active maintenance, and no known vulnerabilities. The AGPL-3.0-only license is a significant constraint: you must be comfortable with copyleft obligations or confirm your use case permits them. For standalone economic data access outside OpenBB, this is not the right choice.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later (supports 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14).
- Depends on openbb-core and its transitive dependencies.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.

What it is and what it does
openbb-econdb is an extension that plugs the EconDB economic data provider into the OpenBB Platform. It acts as a bridge between OpenBB's standardized data-fetching interface and EconDB's economic indicators and datasets, allowing users of the OpenBB Platform to query economic data through a consistent API.
The package is designed for developers and analysts who already use or are building on the OpenBB Platform and need access to economic data. It relies on openbb-core for its base functionality, aiohttp-client-cache for efficient HTTP caching, and aiosqlite for local data persistence. The package supports Python 3.10 through 3.14 and is actively maintained.
Use it for
- Fetch economic indicators from EconDB within an OpenBB-based application
- Build financial analysis tools that combine market data from OpenBB with macroeconomic context
- Create dashboards or reports that integrate multiple data sources through OpenBB's unified provider system
- Backtest trading strategies using economic data alongside other data in OpenBB workflows
