generated: '2026-08-27' method: searched source: >- https://professional.bloomberg.com/support/api-library/ (the published download table), https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/repository/releases/python/simple/blpapi/ (Bloomberg's own PEP 503 index), https://bloomberg.github.io/blpapi-docs/, and the npm registry metadata for the blpapi package. description: >- Bloomberg ships the BLPAPI SDK as first-party client libraries in C++, Java, C#/.NET and Python. None of them are published to the mainstream public registries: there is no blpapi on PyPI, no blpapi on RubyGems, no Bloomberglp.Blpapi on nuget.org and no blpapi artifact on Maven Central. Bloomberg operates its own PEP 503 Python index and its own NuGet v3 feed, and distributes the C++/Java/.NET builds as versioned zip and tarball downloads. The one package that IS on a public registry - npm blpapi - is a 2015 release from an archived repository. registry_note: >- All version numbers below were read from a machine-readable source: the Bloomberg PEP 503 index for the Python wheel, the pinned filenames in the published download URLs for the C++/Java/.NET/schemadownloader artifacts, and registry.npmjs.org for the npm package. Bloomberg's index publishes no upload dates, so `published:` is null with a note for those entries rather than guessed. packages: - language: python registry: bloomberg-pep503 name: blpapi url: https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/repository/releases/python/simple/blpapi/ install: python -m pip install --index-url=https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/repository/releases/python/simple/ blpapi official: true version: 3.26.7.1 published: null note: >- Latest wheel on Bloomberg's own PEP 503 index (540 wheel files, 27 SDK versions from 3.25.x through 3.26.7.x). The index emits no upload dates, so `published` is null - checked, nothing to record. Wheels are provided for Windows (32/64-bit), macOS ARM and most Linux distributions. NOT on PyPI: pypi.org/pypi/blpapi/json returns 404. - language: cpp registry: cdn name: blpapi_cpp url: https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/raw/files/blpapi_cpp_3.26.7.1-linux.tar.gz install: download and unpack the platform tarball/zip from the API Library page official: true version: 3.26.7.1 published: null note: >- Version read from the pinned filename in the published download URL.

The macOS ARM Java build lags at 3.26.6.1 and is labelled experimental. Not published to Maven Central - a solrsearch query for blpapi returns no Bloomberg-owned coordinates. - language: csharp registry: cdn name: blpapi_dotnet url: https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/raw/files/blpapi_dotnet_3.26.7.1.zip install: download and unpack the Windows zip from the API Library page official: true version: 3.26.7.1 published: null note: Version read from the pinned filename in the published download URL. - language: csharp registry: nuget-private name: Bloomberg.Blpapi url: https://nuget.blpapi.bloomberg.com/releases/v3/index.json install: >- dotnet nuget add source --name bloomberg-blpapi-release --username token --password download --store-password-in-clear-text https://token:download@nuget.blpapi.bloomberg.com/releases/v3/index.json && dotnet add package Bloomberg.Blpapi --prerelease official: true version: null published: null note: >- The C# FFI API, distributed from Bloomberg's own NuGet v3 feed rather than nuget.org (api.nuget.org returns 404 for bloomberglp.blpapi and an azuresearch-usnc query for blpapi returns nothing). The feed requires the token/download credential pair Bloomberg publishes on the API Library page, so the version was not read - `null` here means checked and not readable anonymously, not absent. Bloomberg labels the release experimental and the documented install uses --prerelease. - language: python registry: cdn name: schemadownloader url: https://blpapi.bloomberg.com/download/releases/raw/files/schemadownloader_1.2-linux.tar.gz install: download and unpack the platform archive from the API Library page official: true version: '1.2' published: null note: >- First-party command-line utility for downloading BLPAPI service schemas.

First-party (the npm repository field points at the Bloomberg GitHub org) but ABANDONED: the last publish is 2015-03-19, the backing repository was last pushed 2017-10-05 and is now archived, and the SDK it wraps has since advanced from 3.8-era to 3.26.7.1. It still draws 356 downloads a month. Decay evidence, not a supported client. unpublished_surfaces: - registry: pypi checked: '2026-08-27' result: 404 - no blpapi package - registry: maven-central checked: '2026-08-27' result: no Bloomberg-owned blpapi coordinates - registry: nuget.org checked: '2026-08-27' result: 404 for bloomberglp.blpapi; no results for a blpapi query - registry: rubygems checked: '2026-08-27' result: "This rubygem could not be found." - registry: crates.io checked: '2026-08-27' result: >- a crate named "bloomberg" exists (0.2.0, 2024-05-11) but is third-party, not published by Bloomberg L.P. archived_first_party_repos: - repo: https://github.com/bloomberg/blpapi-node archived: true last_push: '2017-10-05' - repo: https://github.com/bloomberg/blpapi-http archived: true last_push: '2016-01-25' note: HTTP/WebSocket wrapper for the Bloomberg Open API.
