Been working with the BB API lately and had a few questions that I haven't been able to find answers to in any documentation so far.a) I'm pulling global intraday raw tick data and am looking for any documentation that lists what the possible condition codes are and what each means. Anyone know where to find this information?b) Is there any way to pull a list of valid symbols per exchange through the API or some other (easily exportable) way? If so, anyone know where to find/able to give a real simple example of how to do so?Thanks.

1. type in WAPI on the bloomberg terminal and you'll find it in the FAQ i think , its definitely somewhere in WAPI -- lost my bloomberg terminal otherwise i'd just send it to you.2. the C api has a ticker search functionality i would put in each letter with a wild card search to capture all for US exchanges etc.

Thanks a ton for the prompt response.Yeah, I'd downloaded the WAPI documentation and have been looking for it but so far been unable to find it. I may be just missing it though -- I'll keep looking. The closest thing I've found so far is that it's "exchange specific". If anyone knows which documentation it's in specifically (there's a # of em, been looking though all I can find) that'd be great.There's a TickerLookup in the MFC API but I don't see anything in the .NET one. Can use the MFC I suppose if needbe but just curious if anyone knows how to do it in the new 3.x .NET API.

Although I didn't find any decent documentation, the codes are listed in the bbapi.h C header file. The file is commented, so you may find it good enough. I tend to be cautious with wild-cards. Bloomberg has a brutal system of cutoffs for data limits. You should read the "Managing Your API Data Limits" section of your documentation. If you try out random tickers, it uses up your monthly limit quite fast. Bloomberg won't tell me what my limit is, nor how it's calculated. But once breached, they won't re-set it: so no more API work for the rest of the month!My data limit with a development license is tiny, so you may have less trouble with this than I did.

a) If by condition codes you mean for fields like MARKET_STATUS, use the function FLDS or simply look type in the field name and hit the HELP key.b) The simplest way to pull all valid tickers for a given exchange is using a EQS search and using the exchange code as your selection criteria.
