Bloomberg L.P.

Bloomberg Server API (SAPI)

Server-side variant of BLPAPI that lets a single Bloomberg Terminal user serve real-time market data, historical data, reference data, and calculation-engine output to multiple in-house applications and end users from a Linux or Windows server. Uses the same BLPAPI SDKs (C, C++, .NET, Python, Java) as the Desktop API.
