Data access APIs

Modern capital markets firms require reliable access to consistent, high-quality data to fuel enterprise applications and deliver functionality to end users. Bloomberg offers development teams a wide array of options for data distribution designed to increase flexibility, speed up the development process and maximize efficiency.

Hypermedia API
The Hypermedia API gives firms programmatic access to Data License content with a powerful combination of request-response and subscription based services. Available content includes reference, pricing, regulatory and alternative data. Data License feeds accounting, portfolio management and compliance systems with over 50 million securities and 56,000 fields.

Server API (SAPI)
Get the same real-time market data, historical data, premium reference data and calculation tools available with the Bloomberg Terminal for seamless use in proprietary and Bloomberg-approved client server applications.

Market Data Feed (B-PIPE)
The Bloomberg Market Data Feed (B-PIPE) provides high-performance global connectivity to consolidated, normalized market data in real time. The data can nourish a wide array of Bloomberg applications, as well as third-party, internal proprietary, and non-display (black box) applications, for increased efficiency throughout the front office. Flexible delivery options provide firms efficient access to data — including delivery directly in the cloud.

Platform for Data Distribution
The Bloomberg Platform for Data Distribution provides complete infrastructure for enterprise data distribution, including trusted entitlements, rigorous application and system monitoring, and the ability to distribute any data stream — external, internal, customer, third-party or a combination of these — to users, applications and other destinations worldwide.

Powering efficient workflows

For front office roles such as traders, portfolio managers, analysts and salespeople, inefficiencies in workflow can result in costly missed opportunities. Disjointed data sets displayed across multiple applications can slow trade-decision time. Similarly, repetitive data entry slows execution time and risks introducing manual errors.

Terminal Connect gives developers tools to link proprietary apps and customized spreadsheets with the Terminal, enabling your applications and spreadsheets to launch Terminal functions as well as synchronize with Bloomberg Launchpad®, Bloomberg’s customizable workspace.
