Bloomberg does not distribute these through the public language registries — there is no `blpapi` package on PyPI (404) and the `blpapi` entry on npm is a third-party 2015 binding. Every official artifact is served from Bloomberg's own distribution hosts: raw archives at blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/, a PEP 503 Python index at blpapi.bloomberg.com/repository/releases/python/simple/, and a NuGet v3 feed at nuget.blpapi.bloomberg.com/releases/v3/. Versions and dates below were read from the download URLs and their Last-Modified headers on 2026-08-27. packages: - name: blpapi (C++) language: C++ official: true registry: vendor registry_url: https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/raw/files/ version: 3.26.7.1 published: '2026-08-12' release_channel: supported platforms: - windows - linux - macos-arm64 artifacts: - https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/raw/files/blpapi_cpp_3.26.7.1-windows.zip - https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/raw/files/blpapi_cpp_3.26.7.1-linux.tar.gz - https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/raw/files/blpapi_cpp_3.26.7.1-macos-arm64.tar.gz docs: https://bloomberg.github.io/blpapi-docs/cpp/3.26.7 note: >- Version read from the pinned download filename; published date is the Last-Modified header on blpapi_cpp_3.26.7.1-linux.tar.gz (Wed, 12 Aug 2026 14:02:23 GMT). The macOS ARM build is labelled an Experimental Release by Bloomberg. - name: blpapi (Java) language: Java official: true registry: vendor registry_url: https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/raw/files/ version: 3.26.7.1 published: '2026-08-12' release_channel: supported platforms: - windows - linux artifacts: - https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/raw/files/blpapi_java_3.26.7.1.zip - https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/raw/files/blpapi_java_3.26.7.1.tar.gz docs: https://bloomberg.github.io/blpapi-docs/java/3.26.7 note: >- Pure Java implementation (no JNI). published from Last-Modified on blpapi_java_3.26.7.1.tar.gz (Wed, 12 Aug 2026 14:11:20 GMT). The macOS ARM Java build lags at 3.26.6.1 and is labelled Experimental. Not published to Maven Central — a search.maven.org query for blpapi returns no Bloomberg-published coordinates. - name: blpapi (C# / .NET) language: .NET official: true registry: vendor registry_url: https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/raw/files/ version: 3.26.7.1 published: '2026-08-12' release_channel: supported platforms: - windows artifacts: - https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/raw/files/blpapi_dotnet_3.26.7.1.zip docs: https://bloomberg.github.io/blpapi-docs/dotnet/3.26.7 note: Published date from Last-Modified on blpapi_dotnet_3.26.7.1.zip (Wed, 12 Aug 2026 14:28:12 GMT). - name: Bloomberg.Blpapi language: .NET official: true registry: nuget registry_url: https://nuget.blpapi.bloomberg.com/releases/v3/index.json version: null published: null release_channel: mixed install: dotnet add package Bloomberg.Blpapi install_prerelease: dotnet add package Bloomberg.Blpapi --prerelease note: >- Bloomberg runs its own NuGet v3 feed rather than nuget.org; the service index answers 200 and advertises Catalog/3.0.0, LegacyGallery and PackageBaseAddress resources, but the registration and flat-container endpoints for this package id did not resolve anonymously on 2026-08-27, so version and published are null — checked, nothing recordable, not a guess. Bloomberg's own instructions add the feed with a published username/password pair before installing. The FFI build (a native C++ backend behind a C# interface) is prerelease-only at time of probe. - name: blpapi (Python) language: Python official: true registry: vendor registry_url: https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/repository/releases/python/simple/ version: 3.26.7 published: null release_channel: supported install: python -m pip install --index-url=https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/repository/releases/python/simple/ blpapi docs: https://bloomberg.github.io/blpapi-docs/python/3.26.7 note: >- PEP 503 simple index hosted by Bloomberg; 3.26.7 is the highest version listed on 2026-08-27. A simple index publishes no upload timestamps and the individual wheel URLs are not linked in the anonymous listing, so published is null. NOT on PyPI: pypi.org/pypi/blpapi/json returns 404. Wheels now bundle the C++ API, so a separate C++ install is no longer required. - name: schemadownloader language: standalone tool official: true registry: vendor registry_url: https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/raw/files/ version: '1.2' published: null artifacts: - https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/raw/files/schemadownloader_1.2-windows.zip - https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/raw/files/schemadownloader_1.2-linux.tar.gz note: >- Standalone command-line tool that downloads BLPAPI service schemas so they can be replayed through the TestUtil component. This is the only way to obtain a machine-readable schema for a Bloomberg service, and it requires an authenticated session against a Bloomberg endpoint. Version read from the pinned filename; no dated metadata published. third_party_seen: - name: blpapi registry: npm version: 1.2.0 published: '2015-03-19' official: false note: Community binding, last released 2015. Not Bloomberg-published; recorded so it is not mistaken for first-party. - name: '@xbbg/core' registry: npm version: 1.4.6 published: '2026-08-06' official: false note: Third-party Node wrapper around BLPAPI.
