OBBEconomy

✓ from openbb_economy import OBBEconomy

✗ from openbb_economy import OBBEconomy

Initialize the economy extension with an API key (if required) and fetch economic data.

import os from openbb_economy import OBBEconomy api_key = os.environ.get('OPENBB_API_KEY', '') economy = OBBEconomy(api_key=api_key) # Example: fetch GDP data gdp = economy.gdp(country='united_states') print(gdp.to_df())

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe OBBEconomy class requires an API key for many providers. Without it, calls may fail silently or return empty data.

fix

Set the OPENBB_API_KEY environment variable or pass api_key parameter.

affects: all

deprecatedSome provider-specific methods (e.g., 'fred') are being phased out in favor of generic method calls like 'gdp', 'inflation', etc.

fix

Use the generic methods (e.g., economy.gdp()) instead of provider-specific ones.

affects: >=1.6.0
