openbb-data-fetcher

openbb-data-fetcher is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from monarchjuno/vibe-investing. It costs 94 tokens per session (2,548 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for retrieving financial, market, economic, news, options, crypto, and other data through the OpenBB Python package. It returns structured data and keeps track of where the data came from.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch current or historical data from OpenBB-supported providers, then return it as a DataFrame, CSV, JSON, or summarized schema.
Why use it?
It avoids relying on the OpenBB MCP server or web scraping when direct Python access is appropriate. It also makes fallback sources and uncertainty clear.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

openbb-data-fetcher scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/fetch_openbb.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

OpenBB Data Fetcher

Role

Use OpenBB as a standalone data access layer. Retrieve requested data, preserve provenance, normalize it into a usable structure, and make uncertainty explicit in the returned dataset package.

Default Behavior

  • Use the OpenBB Python package directly with from openbb import obb.
  • Do not use the OpenBB MCP server unless the user explicitly asks for MCP.
  • Prefer the bundled scripts/fetch_openbb.py helper for simple endpoint calls instead of ad hoc shell heredocs.
  • Prefer official OpenBB endpoints and provider extensions over web scraping.
  • Do not substitute ordinary web search just because OpenBB is not installed; install OpenBB, retry the request, or report the installation blocker.
  • Use web search as a fallback only after OpenBB installation, import, endpoint, provider, or credential setup has failed and the requested task still needs an answer.
  • When using fallback web research, label it clearly as non-OpenBB fallback data and cite sources; do not imply it came from OpenBB.
  • Return structured data first: DataFrame, CSV, JSON, or a concise schema/sample when the dataset is large.
  • Keep raw provider fields unless the user asks for a transformed model-ready dataset.

Quick Start

  1. Identify the data domain: equity, ETF, index, crypto, fixed income, options, economics, fundamentals, news, analyst estimates, calendar events, or regulatory filings.
  2. Identify the instrument identifiers, date range, frequency, provider preference, and required fields.
  3. Check whether OpenBB is installed. If it is missing, install it into the active Python environment and retry the same request.
  4. Use the reusable helper when a simple endpoint call is enough. Do not force provider="yfinance" unless that endpoint supports it:
python skills/data-access/openbb-data-fetcher/scripts/fetch_openbb.py \
  --install-if-missing \
  --endpoint equity.price.historical \
  --params '{"symbol":"AAPL","start_date":"2024-01-01","provider":"yfinance"}' \
  --output /tmp/aapl_prices.csv

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
