What it is and what it does
This package is an extension for the OpenBB Platform that adds access to US Government data sources. It bridges OpenBB's unified API layer to commodity data (USDA PSD reports and weather bulletins) and fixed-income data (Treasury auctions and prices) from data.gov, all without requiring registration.
The extension works by registering six new endpoints within the OpenBB namespace, allowing developers to fetch government datasets through the same interface they use for other OpenBB providers. It depends on openbb-core for the platform framework and random-user-agent to handle HTTP requests to government sources.
Use it for
- Fetch USDA commodity production and supply data for agricultural market analysis
- Retrieve weather bulletins for crop forecasting and commodity trading
- Access Treasury auction results and historical pricing for fixed-income analysis
- Build a unified financial data pipeline that combines government and commercial sources via OpenBB
- Backtest trading strategies using government commodity and treasury data
