Bloomberg API Wrapper & Open Source
Posted: January 31st, 2012, 12:02 pm
Hi all,I am using the Bloomberg Java API and I have written a "wrapper" to make the interface more intuitive and user-friendly.So now, I can write something like this to get real time data for example: final RealTimeDataFeed feed = new BloombergDataFeed(); feed.addSecurities(Arrays.asList("VGA Index", "EUR Curncy")); feed.addFields(Arrays.asList(RtField.LAST_PRICE, RtField.BID_SIZE , RtField.ASK)); feed.addDataFeedChangeListener(lst, "VGA Index"); feed.addDataFeedChangeListener(lst, "EUR Curncy"); feed.start();and the listener 'lst' starts getting the updates, which is admittedly more user friendly than the API provided by Bloomberg.As this is something that I suppose many people have done and redone, I was wondering if there would be any legal issues to create an open source project for that wrapper that would be reusable in projects that need to manage a Bloomberg connection.
