FAQ

Where does the data from the OpenBB SDK come from?

The OpenBB platform does not provide any data itself as the platform is a data aggregator that connects to almost a hundred different data providers and APIs to access the data.

What programs need to be allowed for Windows Firewall?

When issues arise regarding Windows Firewall, please allow the following applications through (if not already):

  • BranchCache
  • Hyper-V
  • VcXsrv
  • Windows Terminal

From the Windows Security menu, click on the Firewall & Network Protection tab, then click on "Allow an app through firewall". If the applications below are not allowed to communicate through Windows Defender Firewall, change the settings to allow.

On what Operating Systems can I run OpenBB SDK?

The OpenBB Terminal is compatible with Windows, Mac Os and Linux. Check the installation guide and requirements outline for more details.

How much hard drive space is required?

An installation will use approximately 4GB of space.

How do I launch Jupyter Lab for use with the OpenBB SDK?

From the command line, with the environment active, and from the root of the local installation folder, enter: jupyter lab. A browser window will launch.

Why is data from today missing when I use the load function?

By default, the load function requests end-of-day daily data and is not included until the EOD summary has been published. The current day's data is considered intraday and is loaded when the interval argument is present.

How do I report a bug?

First, search the open issues for another report. If one already exists, attach any relevant information and screenshots as a comment. If one does not exist, start one with this link
