# openbb-regulators — Markets and Agency Regulators extension for OpenBB

License: agpl · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 85.2K/mo

## What it is and what it does

OpenBB Regulators is an extension module for the OpenBB platform that standardizes access to data from various global market regulators. It acts as a connector layer, providing a consistent interface to regulatory data that would otherwise require separate integrations with each regulator's API or data service. The extension is designed to be installed alongside openbb-core and integrates into the broader OpenBB ecosystem.

The package is intended for developers and analysts who need programmatic access to regulatory information as part of financial analysis, compliance monitoring, or market research workflows. It abstracts away the complexity of connecting to multiple regulator sources by providing a unified data structure.

Use it for:

- Fetch regulatory filings or agency data for compliance and audit workflows
- Build financial analysis tools that incorporate regulator-sourced market data
- Aggregate regulatory information across multiple jurisdictions in a single application
- Integrate regulator data into OpenBB-based trading or research platforms
- Monitor regulatory changes or agency announcements programmatically

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides structured access to data from global market regulators as an extension to the OpenBB platform.

Yes, if you are already using OpenBB and need structured access to regulatory data. The low install friction, active maintenance, and lack of known vulnerabilities make it a safe addition. The AGPL-3.0 license is a significant constraint if you plan to build proprietary software; ensure your project's license is compatible before installing.

## Install

pip install openbb-regulators
uv add openbb-regulators
poetry add openbb-regulators

## Installing openbb-regulators

Before you install: Low install friction with a single runtime dependency on openbb-core. Actively maintained with a release 80 days ago; supports current Python versions from 3.10 through 3.14.

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 their source made available.

Quickstart:

pip install openbb-regulators

from openbb_regulators import <regulator_module>
# Access regulatory data through the extension's interface

Requires openbb-core as a runtime dependency; Python 3.10 or later is required.

Verify before relying:

- Which specific regulators and markets are covered by this extension
- Whether openbb-core is a heavy or lightweight dependency
- Data freshness and update frequency for regulatory information
- API rate limits or access restrictions for regulator data
