I have access and am starting to learn how to use the Bloomberg Terminal. My current project requires me to scrape all the news headlines and contents on the Bloomberg Terminal related to a given search criterion, e.g. "NI MICROSOFT". I've already looked at Bloomberg API but it seems to only provide access to market data such as stock/bond quotes, rather than news articles.
I'm quite stuck at the moment and not really sure where I should look for a solution. It would be great if anybody could give me some suggestions!
Thank you.
You will need to subscribe to the EDTF (Event Driven Trading Feed) service over the Api. The service provides realtime updates of Textual News, News Analytics, Corporate Actions, Economic Indicators and more. I'd suggest to contact your terminal sales rep who will connect you to the right team.

I'm online on wechat (an instant messenger, not to be confused with weechat, that is an IRC client) and following a lot of groups for work. I'm searching for an SDK, an API set, to be able to automitize info collecting from groups and or individuals.
But i'm not aware of any way to do it.
Please, this is NOT an 'opinion' question, I'm litterally asking you if you know a way to receive data from weechat, because I cannot find it.
I see the area on weechat website where a company can ask for accces to API, but, really I cannot find other tools.
Edit 1: Chinese DOC, I think: https://open.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/showdocument?action=dir_list&t=resource/res_list&verify=1&id=open1419318183&token=&lang=zh_CN
Edit 2: Chinese DOC more similar to a JS api :http://work.weixin.qq.com/api/doc#10029/%E5%A4%96%E9%83%A8%E8%81%94%E7%B3%BB%E4%BA%BA%E9%80%89%E4%BA%BA%E6%8E%A5%E5%8F%A3
Obviously, use google translator !
As from my OP, there are some docs, official docs, but the real problem is that to create even a simply Mini Program, we need to subscribe (paid) and also paying at one point a chinese-only page asks by country and the list simply does not include Italy, so I simply cannot subscribe.
I am trying to apply some APIs so that I can display and save Title, Image and Description of Latest Movies, Music Charts, Books & TV Shows on my PHP Website.
Currently I have come across the following APIs:
Movies: RottenTomatoes or TMDB API
TV Shows: TVRage or TMDB API
Books: iTunes RSS Feeds
Music: Last.Fm API or iTunes RSS Feeds
Could anyone please suggest me which one will be more helpful. Or if there are any better APIs than that ?
Also can I store the data returned by these APIs ?
I have been going through the Terms & Conditions, and everytime I read them I find something contradiciting. Please if anybody who has implemented these APIs can help ?
I can't recommend any for music or know of any API that gives you Latest Movies and such, but for the rest I'll give it a shot. I've been looking into this for weeks for a project I'm doing to teach myself how to program and I've came across a few.
OMDb API - Movies and TV
Free, no registration required, and easy to get started with data all retrieved from IMDB.
It returns Title, Poster URL, age rating, description, IMDB rating, etc.
Like I said, I can't see anything that would suggest it could show recent movies or anything, but until you find something to do that, take a look at this.
Google Books API - Books of course!
Also free with no registration requirement unless you want to use features that needs account access which probably isn't likely.
Storing Data
I originally misunderstood you here, so heres a quick edit:
You should be fine with storing it locally as it is publicly accessible anyway.
It's why the API is there in the first place.
I hope I've been able to help!
I think the iTunes Search API is what you need.
I can't make any recommendations for TMDB, however I have used OMDB and can recommend it. It's free and open source so you shouldn't have to worry about saving data.
For the others, I personally wouldn't be too worried about storing meta data for books, music, or movies/tv as long as you're not distributing the actual product in an illegal way.
For Movie and TV Shows you could have a look at Plex.tv - there are quite a few sources used for each of those, and the data is stored on the user's machine (which probably bypasses the question about rights).
For books have a look at Calibre - again, multiple sources of data stored on the user's computer.
There's the obvious answer of finding sources of data and then contacting them directly - T&C are often obtuse and unreadable, but having an email reply that says you can do something gives a plain and simple yes/no answer (even if it contradicts the T&C - but generally you'd only argue if the T&C says yes, and the reply says no)...
Finally, an API is good for consistent data, but technically HTML is similar to XML, which isn't unknown as API results - so any website can be a source of data if it's easily parsed :-)
I have a few questions:
Do the “Sales and Trends report” provides info about in-app purchase and organic traffic?
How can I upload the data from “Sales and Trends report”?
I’ve heard about method through using java classes?
The reports you can download from the Sales & Trends section of iTunes Connect do give you aggregate transactional information about in-app purchases but not about organic traffic. Apple doesn't expose that at all.
Do you mean export? If so you'll want to look into the Auto Ingest tool. It's not an API but it will allow you to access your last 30 daily reports programatically.
Alternatively, you can use a service like appFigures which syncs with iTunes Connect automatically and provides a very simple API to access sales data and much more.
Full disclosure, I'm on the appFigures team
I will be happy to answer those questions.
Question 1) Sales And Trends show you just the money made (so yes to the In-App Purchases), but not the organic traffic. There is just some information that Apple likes to keep a secret, but we don't know why.
Question 2) Import means you put information into that section. You can't do that, but you can export the information, which means you get the information and download it.
This is what "Sales and Trends" should look like, but there should be more information. I blocked out that information by slightly edited it. I put the download button in the black box. Then, you can choose the format you download it.
I hope this helped you get your answers!
I might have overlooked this, but I'd like to implement Google Talk and Google Hangout on my site and I'm looking for some kind of (official, preferably PHP) API call that retrieves the online/offline contacts of a Google+ user. (similar to the list of online contacts next to Gmail)
Is this API functionality available and is it possible to provide the user with the option to select contact(s) to start a Google Hangout with?
To start, you're likely going to need to leverage a few different APIs. Since I cannot add a comment to ask questions, here's a recommended reading list based on my recent work with the Plus & Hangouts APIs:
Google Plus - https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/people/list - Collect a list of people in your circles. This will not tell you who's online or offline. May be optional (see #2). Unfortunately, this call is not available yet in the PHP Client Library, so I created one for my personal project and am waiting on some vetting to submit it back to the Google project. If you're interested, I'd be happy to share.
Google Talk - https://developers.google.com/talk/ - Use that query the Talk service to see who's online and/or offline.
Starting a Hangout - Seems this discussion # the developer group is similar to your question and can best point you in a good starting direction. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-plus-developers/r_f7iweZ7c8
Hope that helps & curious to hear how it goes!
I want to build a service which needs to get this data from some source for further analysis. Does Google, Yahoo or someone else provides free access to this data for use in other websites using some API. I think Twitter does something like this for their data although they enforce some limits on this. The data I need is mostly for US and Canada.
Thanks,
Gary
