How to retrieve end of day security price from bloomberg using Java on a Unix machine?

I need to retrieve market close price of securities from bloomberg using Java on a Unix machine. How can I do that?

I browsed http://www.bloomberg.com/professional/software_support/ and have no idea which one should I use. If there's such java API, where could I access its Javadoc? Thank you!

The above two options are correct however there is a third way:

"Data License Per Security".

As the name suggests this follows a billing by usage model. There are two ways of accessing it:

  • SFTP back and forth of request and response files, users are authenticated by either user id / password / IP whitelist or ssl key exchange.
  • Web Services. users are supplied with a ssl certificate for authentication purposes.

Bloomberg has given API for Java, C, C++, C# and R. So you can use the api. The documentation is given in http://www.bloomberglabs.com/api/documentation/

There are two options available:

  1. You license the Bloomberg Server API - and then you are only able to distribute this data to Bloomberg anywhere users
  2. You subscribe to Bloomberg's back office datalicense files for the products you are interested in, and download their nightly files

Your Bloomberg rep will be able to provide details for both options & appropriate documentation. Type BREP to see contact details for your rep.
