ETF extension for OpenBB
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are already using the OpenBB SDK and need ETF data capabilities. The low install friction, active maintenance, and zero known vulnerabilities make it a safe addition. However, the AGPL-3.0-only license requires that any code using this extension remain open-source; if you need proprietary use, this is a blocker. Verify that the specific ETF data sources and coverage meet your needs before committing.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; openbb-core must be available as a runtime dependency
- Low friction install as a pure Python wheel.

What it is and what it does
openbb-etf is an extension module for the OpenBB SDK that adds ETF-specific data retrieval capabilities. It plugs into the existing openbb-core framework to provide commands for querying exchange-traded fund information and analytics. The package is a pure Python wheel with minimal dependencies—only openbb-core—making it straightforward to install alongside the main SDK.
The extension is actively maintained and supports Python 3.10 through 3.14. It is distributed under the AGPL-3.0-only license, which means any code that uses or modifies it must remain open-source and under the same license. The package is positioned as a specialized data provider within the OpenBB ecosystem, designed for developers and analysts who need ETF data as part of a broader financial data workflow.
Use it for
- Retrieve ETF metadata and performance data within OpenBB workflows for financial analysis
- Build automated ETF screening or monitoring tools that integrate with the OpenBB SDK
- Query ETF holdings, allocations, and other fund-level details for portfolio research
- Combine ETF data with other OpenBB data sources for cross-asset analysis
