API keys
To fully leverage the OpenBB Platform you need to get some API keys to connect with data providers. Here are the 3 options on where to set them:
- OpenBB Hub
- Local file
1. OpenBB Hub
Set your keys at OpenBB Hub and get your personal access token from https://my.openbb.co/app/platform/pat to connect with your account.
Once you log in, on the Platform CLI (through the
/accountmenu, all your credentials will be in sync with the OpenBB Hub.)
2. Local file
You can specify the keys directly in the ~/.openbb_platform/user_settings.json file.
Populate this file with the following template and replace the values with your keys:
{
"credentials": {
"fmp_api_key": "REPLACE_ME",
"polygon_api_key": "REPLACE_ME",
"benzinga_api_key": "REPLACE_ME",
"fred_api_key": "REPLACE_ME"
}
}
