Open Data Platform by OpenBB (ODP) is the open-source toolset that helps data engineers integrate proprietary, licensed, and public data sources into downstream applications like AI copilots and research dashboards.

ODP operates as the "connect once, consume everywhere" infrastructure layer that consolidates and exposes data to multiple surfaces at once: Python environments for quants, OpenBB Workspace and Excel for analysts, MCP servers for AI agents, and REST APIs for other applications.

Get started with: pip install openbb

from openbb import obb
output = obb.equity.price.historical("AAPL")
df = output.to_dataframe()

Data integrations available can be found here: https://docs.openbb.co/python/reference

While the Open Data Platform provides the open-source data integration foundation, OpenBB Workspace offers the enterprise UI for analysts to visualize datasets and leverage AI agents. The platform's "connect once, consume everywhere" architecture enables seamless integration between the two.

You can find OpenBB Workspace at https://pro.openbb.co.
