Bloomberg API (BLPAPI)
The Bloomberg API (BLPAPI) is the official client-side library for accessing Bloomberg market data, reference data, news, and analytics services across Desktop API, Server API, and B-PIPE delivery models. > **Important — protocol shape**: The native BLPAPI is **NOT** an HTTP/REST > API. It is a binary, session-oriented, message-passing API delivered over > the Bloomberg Network using the BLPAPI client SDK (C, C++, Java, .NET, Python). > It uses a request/response paradigm and a subscription paradigm rather than > stateless HTTP verbs. > > This OpenAPI document is a **logical mapping** of the B
