Best Python research & data agents

The open-source research & data agents written in Python, from the Agent Search Engine index — ranked by real maintained adoption (GitHub stars and recent commit activity), never by sponsorship. Every project here is Python-first, self-hostable, and free to run; the trade-off is you host and maintain it yourself.

Frequently asked

What are the best Python research & data agents?
The Python projects listed below, ranked by maintained adoption — GitHub stars plus recent commit activity — so you see what's genuinely used and still maintained, not abandoned.
Are these Python research & data agents open source and free?
Yes — every project on this page is open source and written primarily in Python. The software is free to run and self-host; you still pay for the infrastructure you run it on and any model or API usage it makes.
Why choose Python research & data agents specifically?
Staying in your team's primary language — Python — makes self-hosting, extending, and debugging far easier, because you can read and modify the source directly instead of treating it as a black box.
