Best for

• Data teams and developers who need to consolidate proprietary, licensed, and public financial data sources for consumption across Python environments, REST APIs, and AI agents.

Key capabilities

• Consolidates and exposes data from proprietary, licensed, and public data sources to multiple surfaces at once.
• Provides a Python environment for quants and developers to query data programmatically.

Limitations and risks

• Trading in financial instruments involves high risks, including the risk of losing some or all of the invested amount, and the platform may not be suitable for all investors.
• The data contained in the platform is not necessarily accurate, requiring users to verify data before making financial decisions.

Getting started

• Install the platform via pip directly from PyPI. After installation, query data in a Python environment using the 'from openbb import obb' command.
