  • blpapi-python

    Bloomberg Python API

    Our Fixed Income uses a specialized excel sheet (surprise!) as their OMS as well as for tracking tickets, performance, and other data. I use https://github.com/msitt/blpapi-python which runs queries against the data in their excel sheet and updates in real time. I also grab data from Orion (another OMS) to make sure it all matches and reflects (via their rest API).
