Ensure every function and system across your firm is using exactly the same data. Bloomberg Data License feeds multiple enterprise applications with comprehensive data from the same source—giving front, middle office and operational users a common, reliable frame of reference.
Data License is the technology that delivers Bloomberg’s data content sets, providing reference, pricing and regulatory data across your enterprise and feeding accounting, portfolio management and compliance systems with over 50 million securities and more than 15 thousand fields.
Delivered via SFTP or Web Services using modern web protocols, Data License is available as predefined data sets through the data bulk subscriptions service or as custom data sets through our per security service, which can deliver data immediately or be scheduled to run at a later date.
Data License is built using the latest data science tools and methods, including Tidy Data principles. Bloomberg provides a build system and all of the source code required to transform Data License data files in accordance with tidy data principles, producing multiple output formats with splitting data into clean and error data files, each with metadata.
Data License supports multiple technologies including SPARQL, RStudio, Python and Jupyter and can output Tidy Data as CSV, JSON, Turtle or XML files.
The Bloomberg Enterprise Access Point is a web-based Linked Data Platform that is powered by Bloomberg’s Hypermedia API. The platform provides a seamless online experience for financial organizations looking to leverage data for critical business decisions.
As the technology infrastructure of our financial data customers increase in sophistication our users expect a self-service model for browsing data catalogs, discovering datasets and connecting their technology environments directly to data publishers.
This new platform delivers data in tidy, machine readable formats which facilitates easy ingestion. By delivering data in clean standardized formats through one source, integration costs can be significantly reduced, and in some cases completely eliminated.
Existing Data License users can log in to the website and explore Bloomberg’s bulk data catalog, examine metadata, download sample datasets prior to purchase and immediately put the datasets to use within their organization, using our Hypermedia API.
Many of the datasets in Bloomberg Enterprise Access Point are available as CSV data frames, which are useful for multiple technologies including Jupyter Notebooks and Python Pandas. For professionals leveraging data science, machine learning, or graph analytics, the data is also available in formats, such as JSON-LD & RDF Turtle.
And for the first time, clients can directly access Bloomberg’s comprehensive historical data archives, which are critical for any investing or business governance strategy.
Financial institutions spend a significant amount of time, money and resources acquiring, managing and distributing data.
