# openbb-tradingeconomics — Trading Economics extension for OpenBB

License: agpl · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 84.9K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is an extension for the OpenBB SDK that adds Trading Economics as a data provider. It allows developers to query economic indicators and market data from Trading Economics through the OpenBB platform's unified interface, rather than calling the Trading Economics API directly.

The extension is installed as a plugin to openbb-core and integrates seamlessly into the SDK's provider architecture. It requires Python 3.10 or later and has no additional dependencies beyond openbb-core itself, making it straightforward to add to an existing OpenBB installation.

Use it for:

- Fetch economic indicators like GDP, inflation, and unemployment data for analysis in financial applications
- Build multi-provider data pipelines by combining Trading Economics with other OpenBB data sources
- Integrate real-time economic data into trading or investment research workflows
- Access historical economic time series for backtesting or econometric modeling

## Installing openbb-tradingeconomics

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure Python wheel. Maintenance status is active 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; consider this if you plan to build proprietary extensions.

Quickstart:

pip install openbb-tradingeconomics
