Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

openbb

✓ import openbb

✗ from openbb import openbb

In v4, the main object is the module itself, not a submodule.

OBJ

✓ from openbb import obb

✗ from openbb_sdk import obb

v4 renamed the package from openbb_sdk to openbb.

Initialize OpenBB SDK with a personal access token and fetch historical prices.

import openbb # Set personal access token (or use environment variable OPENBB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN) obb = openbb.OpenBB(token=os.environ.get('OPENBB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN', '')) # Get stock data df = obb.equity.price.historical('AAPL', provider='fmp') print(df)

openbb --version

Debug

Known issues

breakingv4 completely redesigned the API. All v3 code using openbb_terminal is incompatible.

fix

Rewrite calls using the new SDK pattern: import openbb; obb = openbb.OpenBB(token); obb.equity.price.historical(...).

affects: 4.0.0+

breakingRemoved the 'openbb_terminal' package. Must use 'import openbb' instead.

fix

Replace 'from openbb_terminal import ...' with 'import openbb' and use obb object.

affects: 4.0.0+

gotchaProvider functions now require a 'provider' keyword argument. Missing it returns an error.

fix

Always specify provider, e.g., provider='fmp', provider='polygon'.

affects: 4.0.0+

gotchaPersonal access token is mandatory; environment variable OPENBB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN must be set or passed to constructor.

fix

Set os.environ['OPENBB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN'] = 'your_token' or pass token=... to OpenBB().

affects: 4.0.0+

deprecatedSome third-party provider modules are deprecated or moved to separate packages.

fix

Check openbb.dev for up-to-date provider support.

affects: 4.5+

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openbb_terminal'

Trying to import old v3 package.

fix

Use 'import openbb' and create an OpenBB() instance.

TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'token'

OpenBB() constructor now requires a token (or set env var).

fix

Pass token or set OPENBB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN before instantiation.

openbb.errors.OpenBBError: Provider 'fmp' not found.

Misspelled provider name or provider not installed.

fix

Ensure correct provider name (e.g., 'fmp', 'polygon') and install extras: pip install openbb[all].

AttributeError: module 'openbb' has no attribute 'stocks'

Calling old v3 path pattern.

fix

Use obb.equity.* instead of obb.stocks.*.
