openbb-fmp

What it is and what it does

This package is an extension for the OpenBB Platform that plugs in Financial Modeling Prep as a financial data provider. It allows developers using OpenBB to access Financial Modeling Prep's financial data through the platform's unified interface, rather than calling the provider's API directly.

The package is a thin integration layer—it depends only on openbb-core and is distributed as a pure Python wheel, making installation straightforward. It's actively maintained and supports Python 3.10 through 3.14. The AGPL-3.0-only license means any modifications or derivative works must be shared under the same license, which is typical for open-source financial tools but may constrain use in proprietary applications.

Use it for:

• Add Financial Modeling Prep as a data source to an OpenBB-based financial analysis application
• Build a multi-provider financial data aggregator using OpenBB with FMP as one of several integrated sources
• Access financial metrics, ratios, and fundamentals through OpenBB's standardized interface instead of direct API calls
• Develop financial research tools that combine OpenBB's data orchestration with FMP's financial datasets

Worth the install?

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

Integrates Financial Modeling Prep as a data provider into the OpenBB Platform, enabling access to financial data through a unified interface.

Yes, if you are already using OpenBB Platform and want to integrate Financial Modeling Prep as a data source. The low install friction, active maintenance, and lack of known vulnerabilities make it a straightforward addition. The AGPL-3.0 license is a consideration only if you plan to distribute proprietary modifications; for open-source or internal use, it poses no barrier.

Install

openbb-fmp on PyPI

pip install openbb-fmp

uv add openbb-fmp

poetry add openbb-fmp

Installing openbb-fmp

Before you install

Low friction installation as a pure Python wheel. Actively maintained with a release within the last 80 days. Single runtime dependency on openbb-core.

License in practice

Licensed under AGPL-3.0-only, which requires derivative works and modifications to be distributed under the same license and made available to users. Suitable for open-source projects but requires careful consideration in proprietary or closed-source contexts.

Quickstart

pip install openbb-fmp

from openbb_core.app import OpenBBApp

app = OpenBBApp()
# Access Financial Modeling Prep data through the OpenBB platform

Requires openbb-core as a runtime dependency; Financial Modeling Prep API credentials or account may be needed depending on data access requirements.

Verify before relying

• Specific data types and endpoints available from Financial Modeling Prep through this provider
• Whether API credentials are required and how authentication is configured
• Performance characteristics and rate limits when querying financial data
