<HeadTitle title="Data Sources | OpenBB Platform CLI Docs" />
Many commands have multiple data sources associated with it. This page describes how to select from multiple providers.
:::important
API credentials are defined in the `user_settings.json` file.
Find all data providers [here](/platform/extensions/data_extensions), and manage all your credentials directly on the [OpenBB Hub](https://my.openbb.co/app/platform/credentials).
:::
## Data Source In-Command
To specify the data vendor for that particular command, use the `--provider` argument.
Parameter choices can be viewed from the help dialogue, `-h` or `--help`.
```console
/equity/price/historical -h

```console

[--source {realtime,delayed,nasdaq_basic}] [--sort {asc,desc}] [--limit LIMIT] [--extended_hours] [--include_actions]
[--adjustment {splits_and_dividends,unadjusted,splits_only}] [--adjusted] [--prepost] [-h] [--export EXPORT]
[--sheet-name SHEET_NAME [SHEET_NAME ...]]

no default.

intrinio:
--start_time START_TIME
Return intervals starting at the specified time on the `start_date` formatted as 'HH:MM:SS'.
--end_time END_TIME Return intervals stopping at the specified time on the `end_date` formatted as 'HH:MM:SS'.
--timezone TIMEZONE Timezone of the data, in the IANA format (Continent/City).
--source {realtime,delayed,nasdaq_basic}
The source of the data.
polygon:
--sort {asc,desc} Sort order of the data. This impacts the results in combination with the 'limit' parameter. The results are always returned in ascending order by date.
--limit LIMIT The number of data entries to return.
yfinance:
--include_actions Include dividends and stock splits in results.
```
:::note
Provider-specific parameters are listed at the bottom of the print out. They are ignored when entered, if it is not supported by the selected provider.
:::
## Setting The Default Source
The default data providers for each command can be defined within the user configuration file: `/home/your-user/.openbb_platform/user_settings.json`. You can set a single provider or a priority list. If a list is set, the command will use the first provider for which all required credentials set.
See the example below for `obb.equity.price.historical` command:
```json
# user_settings.json
{
"defaults": {
"commands": {
"equity.price.historical": {
"provider": "fmp"
},
"equity.fundamental.balance": {
"provider": ["intrinio", "fmp", "polygon"]
},
...
}
}
}
```
