openbb-etf

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

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Extends the OpenBB SDK with commands to retrieve and work with ETF (exchange-traded fund) data.

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.

Install

openbb-etf on PyPI

pip install openbb-etf

uv add openbb-etf

poetry add openbb-etf

Installing openbb-etf

Before you install

Low friction install as a pure Python wheel. Actively maintained with a recent release 80 days ago. Single runtime dependency on openbb-core keeps the dependency chain manageable.

License in practice

Licensed under AGPL-3.0-only, which requires that any modifications or derivative works using this package must also be released under the same license and have source code made available. This is a copyleft constraint suitable for open-source projects but may restrict use in proprietary software.

Quickstart

pip install openbb-etf

from openbb import obb
# Access ETF data through the openbb-core SDK extension

Requires Python 3.10 or later; openbb-core must be available as a runtime dependency

Verify before relying

• Specific ETF data sources and coverage (which exchanges, how many ETFs, data freshness)
• Whether openbb-core must be installed separately or is pulled automatically as a dependency
• Performance characteristics for large-scale ETF data queries
