The GitHub README says the GitHub repository is now the official home for the C/C++ TA-Lib library, replacing SourceForge as the primary project home. ### Adoption history The official site presents TA-Lib as open source under a BSD license and usable in open-source or commercial applications. It lists a C/C++ core with APIs or wrappers for Python and R on the current site, while older official positioning and bindings have made TA-Lib a common dependency in trading and data-analysis stacks. ### How it is used TA-Lib provides indicators such as ADX, MACD, RSI, Stochastic, and Bollinger Bands, plus candlestick-pattern recognition. Package-manager users mostly encounter the Homebrew formula as the native C library needed by higher-level Python, R, and other bindings. ### Why package nerds care It matters to package maintainers because many language packages expect the native TA-Lib library to be installed first. The upstream FAQ explicitly notes long-lived C/C++ code, stable functions, a stale-release period from 2014 to 2024, and recent packaging automation work. ### Timeline - 2001: TA-Lib was released. - 2014-2024: The official FAQ says releases went stale during this period. - 2016: The TA-Lib/ta-lib GitHub repository was created. - 2024: The official FAQ says work started to automate packaging with GitHub Actions. - 2025: GitHub releases show v0.6.4 published on 2025-01-11. ### Related projects - Official documentation points to the C/C++ core, Python and R wrappers, ta-lib-python, pandas-ta, and a proposal-drafts repository for new TA functions. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** ta-lib - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - ta-lib: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ta/ta-lib/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - zypper - libta-devel - 0.4.0-1.17: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: libta-devel from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | Technical Analysis Library | https://ta-lib.org/ - zypper - libta_lib0 - 0.4.0-1.17: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: libta_lib0 from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | Technical Analysis Library | https://ta-lib.org/ - MacPorts - ta-lib: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: finance/ta-lib/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Database and data packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/database-data-tools/) - Matched database, SQL, migration, or data-store metadata. - [autoconf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/autoconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [automake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/automake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [libtool](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/libtool/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [mdz](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mdz/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, finance. - [aqbanking](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aqbanking/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, finance. - [fred](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/fred/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, finance. - [heatshrink](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/heatshrink/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-library, cli, data. - [libgeotiff](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/libgeotiff/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-library, cli, data. - [libgetdata](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/libgetdata/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-library, cli, data. - [liborigin](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/liborigin/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-library, cli, data. - [libxls](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/libxls/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-library, cli, data. - [yahoo-finance2](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/npm/yahoo-finance2/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
