Bloomberg is now addressing the problem of proprietary programming
interfaces by opening the Bloomberg API, or
BLPAPI, for free use under a nonrestrictive MIT-style license. BLPAPI is a
proven interface that supports both
publish/subscribe and request/response paradigms and is the common access
point to Bloomberg market data
distribution products, including Desktop API, Server API, Managed B-Pipe
and Platform service products.


Nice news for RBloomberg :)
