Currency

✓ from openbb_currency import Currency

✗ from openbb_currency import Currency

Initialize OpenBB, authenticate with PAT, and fetch EUR/USD exchange rate.

import os from openbb import obb obb.account.login(pat=os.environ.get('OPENBB_PAT', '')) # Get exchange rate from EUR to USD result = obb.currency.price_historical('EURUSD') print(result.results[0].close)

Debug

Known issues

breakingImport paths changed from OpenBB v3 to v4. In v4, extensions are under their own top-level module (e.g., 'from openbb_currency import Currency') instead of 'from openbb import currency'.

fix

Use 'from openbb_currency import Currency' and instantiate via obb.currency.<command>.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedThe 'currency' provider endpoint may require an API key for full access. Free tier has limited data.

fix

Set API key via obb.account.login(pat=...) or environment variable OPENBB_PAT.

affects: all

gotchaSymbols are typically in the form 'EURUSD' (base-quote) without separator. Using 'EUR/USD' or 'EUR-USD' will fail.

fix

Use concatenated currency pair: 'EURUSD', 'JPYUSD', etc.

affects: all
