I am trying to write some code to remotely grab some basic reference data

  • 0

I am trying to write some code to remotely grab some basic reference data from my Bloomberg terminal remotely. Is this possible? I have a setup with two separate PCs. PC-1 has Bloomberg running on it, PC-2 does not. Without installing Bloomberg on PC-2, is there a way I can have a Java application which gives the IP+user identity credentials of PC-1 and obtains some basic reference data? Example code much appreciated. I see AuthenticationByIp.java in the BB API but I can’t get it working. I don’t think it is what I am looking for.

Thank you!

    I don’t think you can do that by calling the API directly from PC2.

    You could have a service running on PC1 that relays queries from PC2 to the API, but that would be a breach of your Bloomberg contract, because you are only allowed to use data obtained from the API on the PC on which the Bloomberg terminal is installed.
