}About the bloomberg.com API
The Bloomberg Markets API provides 3 endpoints covering real-time prices for stock indices, commodities, currencies, and bonds, plus the most active stocks and latest news from Bloomberg's markets section. The get_market_data endpoint accepts any Bloomberg ticker ID (e.g. SPX:IND, CL1:COM, EURUSD:CUR) and returns price, percent change, and timestamps. get_market_movers pairs each active stock with a live headline and article URL.
Market Data by Ticker
The get_market_data endpoint accepts a comma-separated list of Bloomberg ticker IDs via the ticker_ids parameter. You can pass equity indices (e.g. SPX:IND), commodity futures (e.g. CL1:COM), currency pairs (e.g. EURUSD:CUR), or bond tickers. Each ticker object in the response includes id, name, price, percent change fields, and timestamps. Omitting ticker_ids returns a default set of major indices and commodities.
Market Movers
get_market_movers returns the most active or largest-moving stocks at the time of the request. Each mover object carries ticker_id, price, percent_change_1day, a headline from an associated Bloomberg article, and an article_url. The endpoint currently accepts a locale parameter, though only en is supported. This makes the endpoint useful for building watchlists or alerting pipelines that need both price movement and a linked editorial context in one call.
News Articles with Pagination
get_market_news fetches articles from Bloomberg's markets section. Each article object includes id, headline, summary, url, byline, published_at, updated_at, brand, type, a premium flag (indicating whether the article sits behind Bloomberg's paywall), and image_url. Pagination is controlled through limit and offset parameters, and the response echoes back the offset used alongside a count of articles returned. The page parameter lets you target a specific Bloomberg page section.

Does Bloomberg have an official developer API?+
What does the `premium` field in `get_market_news` indicate?+
premium boolean on each article object signals whether that article is behind Bloomberg's paywall. The API returns the metadata (headline, summary, URL, byline, dates) for premium articles, but the full article body is not included in the response regardless of that flag.Does `get_market_data` support historical price data or only current prices?+
Is company-level fundamental data (earnings, P/E ratios, balance sheets) available?+
How does pagination work in `get_market_news`?+
get_market_news endpoint accepts limit (number of articles to return) and offset (starting position in the result set). The response echoes both count and offset so you can walk through pages sequentially. There is no cursor-based pagination; increment offset by your limit value to fetch the next page.
