I dont know whether this is the right forum to put my question or not.

But I want to connect to bloomberg data feed server and then download the data and then apply some algorithm upon it.

Can anyone suggest, how it can be done and any reference/link.
I want to do is programmatically.

thanks in advance for the suggestion.

You could use ccapi2 from http://www.activestocks.eu . But as the FIX connector is only partially implemented, i don’t know if it will be of any use with the bloomberg data feed server.

ccapi does support a processing of timeframed or tick based information and it’s used by quite some people with InteractiveBroker, opentick or data in eurex tick files.

I am the lead dev of that project and i would very much like to strengthen and enhance the fixml adapter of ccapi2, i dunno if this is the right way to ask, but you wouldn’t share some thoughts on the requirements for using the bloomberg data server ? Does it have a fixml interface ? I don’t have a fixml data vendor … if you want to use ccapi, i would be happy to have you as a tester for the fixml stuff …

Sincerely yours,
Ulrich Staudinger, lead dev ccapi …

Our toolset (transformation Manager) has been used by some of our bank customers for mapping FixML (amongst other industry standards) to a variety of different data sources/targets. Let me know if you would like to discuss further.

Hi,

I have similar concern :

I want to connect to bloomberg data feed server and then download the data.

Are there any API’s available to read the data from bloomberg which has zero latency period (no time gap between the data on bloomberg and read data)

Please let me know.

Thanks
Sona.
