OpenBB Charting extension

This extension provides a charting library for OpenBB SDK.

The library includes:

  • a charting infrastructure based on Plotly
  • a set of charting components
  • prebuilt charts for a set of commands that are built-in OpenBB SDK extensions

Installation

To install the extension, run the following command in this folder:

pip install openbb-charting

PyWry dependency on Linux

The PyWry dependency handles display of interactive charts and tables in a separate window. It is installed automatically with the OpenBB Charting extension.

When using Linux distributions, the PyWry dependency requires certain dependencies to be installed first.

  • Debian-based / Ubuntu / Mint: sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev

  • Arch Linux / Manjaro: sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk

  • Fedora: sudo dnf install gtk3-devel webkit2gtk3-devel

Usage

To use the extension, run any of the OpenBB SDK endpoints with the chart argument set to True.

Here's an example how it would look like in a python interface:

from openbb import obb
stock_data = obb.stocks.load(symbol="TSLA", chart=True)

This results in a OBBject object containing a chart attribute, which contains Plotly JSON data.

In order to display the chart, you need to call the show() method:

stock_data.show()

Note: The show() method currently works either in a Jupyter Notebook or in a standalone python script with a PyWry based backend properly initialized.
