Bloomberg L.P. · Rate Limits

Bloomberg Lp Rate Limits

Rate-limit definitions for Bloomberg L.P.'s public developer surfaces. The authoritative tier is OpenFIGI, which publishes per-IP (anonymous) and per-API-key ceilings on the /v3 mapping, search, and filter endpoints. BLPAPI enforces entitlement-driven limits negotiated through Bloomberg Sales rather than per-key REST quotas, and is documented here as informational.

Bloomberg Lp Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Bloomberg L.P. on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 6 rate-limit definitions, across the openfigi-anonymous, openfigi-apikey, blpapi-desktop, and blpapi-server-bpipe tiers, measuring requests_per_minute, requests_per_six_seconds, events_per_second, and subscriptions_and_requests.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled, quotaExceeded, and serviceUnavailable.

Tagged areas include Financial Services, Symbology, Reference Data, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.
