Hi Paweł! :)

Unfortunately, we use Bloomberg only on windows, so I don't know how
well my answer will be correct.

Bloomberg API Library on Mac OS and Linux are only compatible with the
Bloomberg Server API and B-Pipe*, so there is no support for Bloomberg
Anywhere (terminal or browser). However, it looks like you can get
Bloomberg API Library using Bloomberg Excel Add-ins, see this topic:
