Code

Verified usage

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

OBB

✓ from openbb import obb

Standard OpenBB import; extension loads automatically when installed.

Fetch government economic data (GDP forecast) using the OECD provider. Replace 'oecd' with 'fiscal_spending' or other available providers.

from openbb import obb df = obb.economy.gdp_forecast(provider='oecd').to_dataframe() print(df.head())

Debug

Known issues

breakingOpenBB v4.0 changed the import path. Previously 'from openbb_terminal.sdk import openbb', now 'from openbb import obb'.

fix

Use 'from openbb import obb' and upgrade your code.

affects: >=4.0.0

gotchaThis extension is not standalone; it requires the base openbb package. Installing only openbb-government-us will not work without openbb.

fix

Install with 'pip install openbb[all]' or ensure openbb is installed.

affects: all

gotchaSome providers require an API key. For example, 'fiscal_spending' needs a FRED API key. Missing keys cause a 'ProviderError'.

fix

Set environment variable 'FRED_API_KEY' or use obb.account.login(pat='your_fred_key') (OpenBB v4+).

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

openbb==3.x error: 'openbb_terminal' has no attribute 'government'

OpenBB v3.x needed the extension explicitly imported, or it wasn't installed.

fix

Upgrade to openbb>=4.0.0 and use 'from openbb import obb'. Ensure openbb-government-us is installed.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openbb_government_us'

Package not installed or wrong Python environment.

fix

Run 'pip install openbb-government-us' and verify with 'pip list | grep openbb'.

ProviderError: The api_key is required for provider: fred

Missing FRED API key for some government endpoints.

fix

Set environment variable 'FRED_API_KEY' to your key, or use obb.economy.gdp(provider='oecd') instead.
