OpenBB

What is the OpenBB tool?

The OpenBB tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to stock data and financial analytics via openbb. When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This tool requires a OPENBB_PAT environment variable. Get your API key at my.openbb.co.

How to use OpenBB in Agno Builder

1. 1

   Create an agent

   Drag an Agent node onto the canvas in Agno Builder, or use one of the built-in templates.

2. 2

   Enable OpenBB

   Click the agent, go to the Tools tab, and toggle on "OpenBB" from the finance category.

3. 3

   Add your API key

   Enter your OPENBB_PAT in the tool configuration. Your key stays in your browser and is never stored on our servers.

4. 4

   Test in chat

   Open the chat panel and send a message. The agent will automatically use OpenBB when relevant.

5. 5

   Export Python code

   Click File > Export Python to get clean, runnable code with the correct imports for OpenBB.

Python code example

This is the code Agno Builder exports when you use OpenBB:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.openbb import OpenBBTools

agent = Agent(
    name="OpenBB Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[OpenBBTools()],
    instructions=["Use the openbb tool to help the user."],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("Help me with a openbb task")

Install with: pip install agno # + set OPENBB_PAT
