Initialize the OpenBB platform and fetch historical equity prices.

from openbb import obb # Set your API keys (optional) obb.account.login(pat=os.environ.get('OPENBB_PAT', '')) # Get historical prices for AAPL df = obb.equity.price.historical('AAPL').to_dataframe() print(df.head())

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 1.0.0, the import path changed from 'openbb_terminal' to 'openbb'. Old code using 'from openbb_terminal import ...' will break.

fix

Replace 'from openbb_terminal' with 'from openbb' and update method calls accordingly.

affects: >=0.x,<1.0.0

deprecatedThe 'load' function for equity data is deprecated. Use 'obb.equity.price.historical' instead.

fix

Replace 'load(ticker)' with 'obb.equity.price.historical(ticker)'.

affects: >=1.0.0,<1.5.0

gotchaAPI keys are required for many data providers, but the error message may be misleading if missing. Always set keys via environment variables or obb.account.login().

fix

Set OPENBB_PAT for OpenBB Hub or provider-specific keys (e.g., POLYGON_API_KEY).

affects: all
