description: >-
  Bloomberg publishes a real, dated lifecycle surface for the BLPAPI SDK - a public
  version archive spanning 27 releases and a formal Software Update and Expiration
  Policy - but publishes no versioning policy, no deprecation policy and no status page
  for the HTTP Data License / Hypermedia API.
versioning:
  sdk:
    scheme: four-part
    current: 3.26.7.1
    docs_current: 3.26.7
    archive: https://bloomberg.github.io/blpapi-docs/all_versions.html
    versions_indexed: 27
    range: 3.25.3 through 3.26.7
    note: >-
      Reference documentation is published per version for C++, C# (.NET), Java and
      Python. Older SDK release docs remain online at the archive URL.
  api:
    scheme: null
    current: null
    docs: null
    note: >-
      The reachable HAPI path space carries no version segment (/eap/catalogs/, not
      /v1/...), and no versioning policy page was found on any Bloomberg host.
deprecation:
  policy_url: https://assets.bbhub.io/professional/sites/27/Software-Update-and-Expiration-21en.pdf
  policy_name: Bloomberg Software Update and Expiration Policy
  sunset_header: false
  note: >-
    Bloomberg publishes a formal software update and expiration policy governing when
    installed Bloomberg software - including the API libraries - stops being supported
    and expires. It is a PDF, not a machine-readable policy, and it covers the installed
    software estate rather than HTTP endpoint deprecation. No RFC 8594 Sunset or
    Deprecation header was observed on any api.bloomberg.com response, and no
    endpoint-level deprecation notice was found. Supporting document: Software
    Compatibility Matrix,

sla:
  url: null
  uptime_target: null
  note: >-
    No public SLA was found. Data License and B-PIPE service levels are contractual and
    are not published anonymously.
status_page:
  url: null
  checked: '2026-08-27'
  probes:
    - url: https://status.bloomberg.com/
      status: DNS resolution failed
  note: >-
    status.bloomberg.com does not resolve, and no status or incident-history page was
    linked from the API Library or Support pages. NO StatusPage pointer is emitted.
    Terminal and Data License incident communication runs through the Enterprise Console
    and account channels, which are not anonymously reachable.
connectivity_policies:
  - name: SFTP Connectivity Policy
    url: https://console.bloomberg.com/about/47
    note: >-
      Public Enterprise Console page governing the SFTP delivery channel for Data
      License, including host keys and fingerprints. The nearest thing Bloomberg
      publishes to an operational change policy for the data-delivery surface.

deprecated_operations_note: No OpenAPI exists in this repository, so no operation-level deprecation could be derived.
