Accessing Bloomberg API from client's browser in javascript

Is it possible to access blpapi from javascript running in the client's browser?

I wish to access bloomberg's API from javascript running in the client's browser, in the assumption that the client has an open bloomberg session and therefore bbcomm is running.

Conceptually, this would be the same as accessing the blpapi on the client side from python.

However, all existing solutions I found in js appear to be server-side:

blpapi-node (node-based)

blpapi-httm (creates a server where to post http request)

blpapi-react (cannot make this module work)

Solution

  • Now you can access Bloomberg data natively in JavaScript via Web AppPortal. This allows you to write web based applications that run inside LP Components.

    To learn more about Web AppPortal, go to MYAP 5

    To download the SDK, please type SDK -> select SDK -> AppPortal Web SDK -> click Install.
