✗ from openbb_index import index as openbb_index

Basic usage: instantiate the IndexProvider and fetch historical data for an index symbol (e.g., ^GSPC for S&P 500).

from openbb_index import index as openbb_index # Create a reference to the index provider index_provider = openbb_index.IndexProvider() # Fetch historical data for S&P 500 sp500_data = index_provider.get_historical("^GSPC") print(sp500_data)

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 1.5.0 changed the import path from openbb_index.index to openbb_index.IndexProvider. Old code using openbb_index.index will break.

fix

Use `from openbb_index import IndexProvider` instead of `from openbb_index.index import ...`

affects: >=1.5.0

gotchaThe extension requires the OpenBB core platform to be installed and configured. Running get_historical without a configured data provider will raise a ProviderNotConfiguredError.

fix

Ensure openbb-core is installed and run `openbb setup` or configure a provider manually.

affects: all

deprecatedThe method `get_historical` is deprecated in favor of `fetch_historical` in version 1.6.0. The old method will be removed in 2.0.

fix

Use `IndexProvider.fetch_historical(symbol)` instead of `get_historical`.

affects: >=1.6.0
