openbb-index
Index extension for OpenBB
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are already using the OpenBB Platform and need index data access. Low install friction, active maintenance, and no known vulnerabilities make it a straightforward addition. However, the AGPL-3.0-only license is a significant constraint—only use it if your project can comply with copyleft obligations or if you are building internal tools where source disclosure is acceptable.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); openbb-core must be installed first.
- Low install friction with a pure Python wheel and a single runtime dependency on openbb-core.
- Active maintenance status with a release within the last 80 days.

What it is and what it does
openbb-index is an extension module for the OpenBB Platform that adds data access capabilities for global and European market indices. It integrates as a plugin into the core OpenBB framework, allowing users to retrieve index data through the platform's standard API surface rather than managing separate data connections.
The package is distributed as a pure Python wheel with minimal dependencies—only openbb-core is required at runtime. It targets modern Python versions from 3.10 through 3.14 and is maintained actively, with releases within recent months. The AGPL-3.0-only license means any code that uses or modifies this extension must be released under the same copyleft terms.
Use it for
- Retrieve global index data within OpenBB-based financial analysis applications.
- Access European index data for multi-region portfolio analysis workflows.
- Build financial dashboards or reporting tools that aggregate index performance through a unified OpenBB interface.
- Extend OpenBB Platform deployments with index data capabilities without managing separate data providers.
