SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of collecting financial and market data by using OpenBB as a direct Python data-access layer, producing reproducible, source-tagged datasets instead of one-off ad hoc queries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Direct OpenBB Access: Pull prices, fundamentals, macro data, news, options, crypto, ETFs, and indexes through OpenBB endpoints without relying on the OpenBB MCP server.
  • Provider-Aware Retrieval: Choose the right provider for each endpoint, handle credentials safely, and preserve provenance so results stay auditable.
  • Reproducible Output: Return structured CSV, JSON, or DataFrame-ready data with query parameters, row counts, missing-field notes, and data-quality warnings.
  • Use Case: A research analyst can fetch historical AAPL prices, validate provider compatibility, and export a clean dataset with clear metadata for downstream modeling.

Quick Start

Use the openbb-data-fetcher skill to retrieve the requested OpenBB dataset and return it as a structured, source-tagged output with provider details and data-quality notes.

How do I export clean OpenBB datasets with data-quality warnings?

Ensure reproducible OpenBB datasets by returning structured CSV, JSON, or DataFrame-ready data with explicit provenance and data-quality warnings. Query parameters, provider details, and missing-field notes are attached so results stay auditable for research workflows.

Does OpenBB support fetching ETF and index data for historical research?

Available OpenBB endpoints cover crypto, options, equities, ETFs, indexes, news, filings, and macro series. Provider-specific analytics are also supported, allowing you to retrieve structured datasets with explicit provenance and data-quality notes for your analysis.
