I / Function

Financial data platform for analysts, quants, and AI agents.

OpenBB's Open Data Platform integrates public, licensed and proprietary data sources for research tools and downstream applications. Its Python interface can retrieve financial datasets and convert results into data frames. Teams can run a local API server and expose integrations to REST clients, Excel, MCP agents or OpenBB Workspace, which provides a separate analyst interface.
