Is there a reliable way to open a specific bloomberg terminal page programmatically (e.g. "MSFT Equity")?

I am open to any suggestions and code samples:

  • Start process with path to bloomberg terminal executable and ticker in the arguments
  • Bloomberg API
  • DDE
  • COM Automation
  • SendKeys (can be blocked by some antivirus software)
  • ...

Many thanks

Is Bloomberg Open API free?

Bloomberg API MASTER RECORDThe established service provides free, unrestricted access to raw data for customers for its financial market information. The same publish/subscribe and request/response interactions available via its proprietary interface can be accessed via API.

How do I install Bloomberg API?

In the Bloomberg terminal, type WAPI <GO> to open the API Developer's Help Site screen. Click API Download Center. Download and install the appropriate software.

1 Answers

You can get the answer to this through the terminal:

API < GO > > API Developer's Website > WAPI Home > FAQs > Miscellaneous Topics

And the specific question is How can I communicate programmatically with the Bloomberg Professional?

The string you need to send over DDE is 

<blp-1><home>MSFT US<EQUITY><GO>DES<GO>
