Bloomberg Data Parser & API
Bloomberg is one of the world’s leading financial news organizations, delivering institutional-grade market coverage across equities, rates, FX, commodities and macro — and StockAPIS extracts its news as structured data — headlines, summaries, full article text, linked tickers, categories, authors and sentiment scores — through a single REST API. Bloomberg does not offer a public news API for general developers (its API library is part of the paid Bloomberg Terminal / B-PIPE enterprise stack), so StockAPIS normalizes its public news output into the same schema you use for every other source, no scraping or Terminal entitlement required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bloomberg have an official API? Not for general developers. Bloomberg’s API library (Server API, B-PIPE, Desktop API) is part of the paid Bloomberg Terminal / Professional Services stack and requires an enterprise entitlement — there is no open public news API. StockAPIS provides unified, normalized access to Bloomberg news without a Terminal subscription.
What data can I get from Bloomberg through StockAPIS? Headlines, article summaries and full text, linked tickers, categories and tags, author, publish timestamps, plus per-article sentiment scores and market-impact ratings.
Can I filter Bloomberg news by ticker or category? Yes — you can request the latest news for a specific symbol (e.g. AAPL) or by category such as markets, economics or corporate, all returned on the same schema as every other StockAPIS source.
