<HeadTitle title="Data Extensions - Usage | OpenBB Platform Docs" />

When the core OpenBB Platform package is installed, familiar components might be missing.  This is to keep the core components as light as possible.  The extension framework allows individual pieces to be installed and removed seamlessly within the environment.  Functions will appear in the Python Interface and Fast API only if a supported provider, for that specific endpoint, is installed.

For example, yFinance.

```console
pip install openbb-yfinance
```

Additions and removals update the router automatically to reflect the changes when the Python interpreter is refreshed.  Below is a list of data provider extensions.

Uninstall any extension with `pip uninstall`.

```console
pip uninstall openbb-yfinance
```
