* feat(platform): standardize country inputs using pydantic-extra-types Add CountryParam type that accepts: - ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes (e.g., 'US', 'us') - Full country names (e.g., 'United States') - lower_snake_case names (e.g., 'united_states') Uses pydantic-extra-types for programmatic ISO validation instead of hardcoded mappings. Serializes to lowercase alpha-2 code by default. Example usage in FMP equity screener: - country: CountryParam | None Partially addresses #6969 * refactor: use Country class inheriting from str for type checker compatibility - Replace Annotated CountryParam with Country(str) class per maintainer feedback - Store full pycountry object for access to alpha_2, alpha_3, name, numeric - Use pycountry directly instead of pydantic-extra-types - Add support for alpha-3 codes (e.g., 'USA') - Update tests to cover new functionality * Replace pycountry with static JSON country data - Add country_data.json with ISO 3166-1 data (20KB vs 6MB pycountry) - Update Country class to use static JSON lookup - Remove pycountry dependency from pyproject.toml - No decompression needed, data loaded once at import * fix(lint): D402 docstring should start with verb * fix(lint): work around pydocstyle D402 false positive When a method is named `name` and `.pydocstyle.ini` uses `match = .*\.py`, pydocstyle incorrectly triggers D402 for any docstring containing the word "name" anywhere - not just at the start as the rule intends. Changed docstring from "Return the full country name..." to "The country's official designation..." to avoid the false positive. See: https://github.com/PyCQA/pydocstyle/issues/375 * fix(lint): resolve pylint warnings in country_utils * fix(lint): use ternary for ruff SIM108 in country_utils * fix(lint): format ternary for black line length --------- Co-authored-by: Danglewood <85772166+deeleeramone@users.noreply.github.com>
Open Data Platform by OpenBB (ODP) is the open-source toolset that helps data engineers integrate proprietary, licensed, and public data sources into downstream applications like AI copilots and research dashboards.
ODP operates as the "connect once, consume everywhere" infrastructure layer that consolidates and exposes data to multiple surfaces at once: Python environments for quants, OpenBB Workspace and Excel for analysts, MCP servers for AI agents, and REST APIs for other applications.
Get started with: pip install openbb
from openbb import obb
output = obb.equity.price.historical("AAPL")
df = output.to_dataframe()
Data integrations available can be found here: https://docs.openbb.co/python/reference
OpenBB Workspace
While the Open Data Platform provides the open-source data integration foundation, OpenBB Workspace offers the enterprise UI for analysts to visualize datasets and leverage AI agents. The platform's "connect once, consume everywhere" architecture enables seamless integration between the two.
You can find OpenBB Workspace at https://pro.openbb.co.
Data integration:
- You can learn more about adding data to the OpenBB workspace from the docs or this open source repository.
AI Agents integration:
- You can learn more about adding AI agents to the OpenBB workspace from this open source repository.
Integrating Open Data Platform to the OpenBB Workspace
Connect this library to the OpenBB Workspace with a few simple commands, in a Python (3.9.21 - 3.12) environment.
Run an ODP backend
- Install the packages.
pip install "openbb[all]"
- Start the API server over localhost.
openbb-api
This will launch a FastAPI server, via Uvicorn, at 127.0.0.1:6900.
You can check that it works by going to http://127.0.0.1:6900.
Integrate the ODP Backend to OpenBB Workspace
Sign-in to the OpenBB Workspace, and follow the following steps:
- Go to the "Apps" tab
- Click on "Connect backend"
- Fill in the form with: Name: Open Data Platform URL: http://127.0.0.1:6900
- Click on "Test". You should get a "Test successful" with the number of apps found.
- Click on "Add".
That's it.
