What it is and what it does
openbb-sec is an extension that plugs SEC EDGAR data access into the OpenBB Platform. It acts as a data provider bridge, allowing users of the OpenBB ecosystem to query SEC filings and financial disclosures programmatically. The package depends on openbb-core and uses standard web-scraping and XML-parsing libraries (beautifulsoup4, lxml, defusedxml, xmltodict) to fetch and parse SEC data, with async HTTP support via aiohttp-client-cache and local caching via aiosqlite.
The package is actively maintained and supports modern Python versions (3.10 through 3.14). It carries an AGPL-3.0-only license, which has implications for derivative works. Installation is straightforward with low friction, requiring only pip and the listed dependencies.
Use it for
- Fetch SEC filings and financial disclosures for companies within OpenBB-based research workflows
- Build financial analysis tools that combine SEC data with other OpenBB providers
- Automate SEC filing retrieval for compliance or regulatory monitoring
- Integrate SEC EDGAR data into quantitative finance or investment analysis platforms
