Bloomberg Professional Service is a comprehensive financial data, news, and analytics platform serving investment professionals worldwide. It provides real-time and historical market data, trading capabilities, news, research, and analytical tools for financial markets.
Bloomberg Professional Service is listed with 9 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Analytics, Cloud, Data Management, Enterprise, and Financial Services.
Bloomberg Professional Service’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, support, and 21 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Securities & Market Data regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Open Source Surface applies to this provider. This product is open source and we
read its repository directly, so Open Source Surface carries
10 points of the composite. It is scored from what the repository actually
publishes — a security policy, a contribution guide, a release history, a code of conduct — read live from the
provider rather than inferred from our own catalog pointers.
This facet adds; nothing was taken away to make room for it. An open-source project is not excused from
the commercial facets, because exemption would strip it of the points it does earn.
If we have the wrong repository, or this product is not open source, say so on your
provider repo and we
will drop the facet rather than have you publish against it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them,
because both conditional facets apply and carry
25 points together. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
Machine-Readable Auth+10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey)
Idempotency+9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics+8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
11 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
