I'm currently doing a feeder and i'm using Bloomberg API but I only need to get the top 200 securities for a specific period, is it possible?
Thanks.
As far as I know, there is no way to do a securities search through the API. If you have a well defined universe (say 1000 stocks and want the top 200 based on performance for the day), you can always query the performance for the day field for the 1000 stocks and sort/filter in your application.
ps: I assume you are talking about the open blp api.
I'm pretty sure it's possible since I know it can be done via the Excel API. Use the EQS in the Bloomberg Terminal to create a screen. There, choose the equity universe and the sort criteria. You can now download to Excel the equities which the screen displays. I recommend you ask the Help Desk (F1 F1 on the Terminal) how to download an EQS screen via API v3.

How to search this?
I want to be able to:
1. create a search engine
2. programatically search it thorugh an API (python, or other)
3. paginate through the results (all of them, if I chose)
4. store URL's or results that I want.
Is this even possible with Google Custom Search Engine?
I enabled billing, my CC is up to date with Google, I do steps 1..3 above.
On a search, I will get back 4,000 results for example, but I can only access 10 at a time with the API, none more, and when I reach 100 results I am shut off.
I want to be able to process 1000 results if I wish.
Before you reply, do you personally have working code that goes beyond the 100 limit?
If so, would be very much interested in speaking, learning how you did it.
I am using Python at the moment, but it could be any language.
--
I tried using the &start=100, 200, and so on to paginate through, but this does not work.
I tried getting 100 results in a python script, ending the program, calling it again setting start=100 (after the first set returned), and nothing happened.
I want to be able to use the Google Custom Search API, pay Google for a monthly subscription but have not found that this is possible.
For any given search, I want to decide how many results to process, could be 1K, could be 20K, I simply need/want access to the full result set, but I do not, have not seemed to find a way to do this.
The API allows only a max result depth of 100. See https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/cse/list
Context
I am in the process of providing some consultancy on doing a HTTP GET using YouTube Data API V3; in order to develop a Windows based application to GET a list of results from Youtube, for say a specific CATEGORY, or a specific TAG.
We are open to using any programming language(I'm from a C++ background and am hoping You tube will support direct HTTP connections without using Google client SDK and so on) to connect to YouTube and (HTTP) GET data.(Once a month or so, so YouTube API quotas should not be problem).
The Issue
We are being told by some of my client's web developers that YouTube API v3 will only return a maximum of 500 records/results, for say a query that returns JUST the Total viewers, the Video's link, and basic meta data such as that.
S, say I wish to find 5,000 results for category "House music" or "basketball" - and I have the Developer Key etc are all set up, would that be possible?
If so, what GET fields would I need to populate(such as "max_results_per_page")?
Thank you.
The API won't provide more than ~500 search results for any arbitrary query. It's by design. Technically, it means that the nextPageToken field won't be returned once you hit ~500 results. No additional parameter can change that.
If you want more than ~500 results for a query, you have to split it into more specific sub-queries. I'd suggest using the publishedAfter and publishedBefore parameters to achieve that, but feel free to experiment with the other ones here.
This only holds for the search-Query. Other queries like "PlaylisItem:list" deliver more results. I have tested with 100.000 items to get the videos of a playlist.
I just want to start out this post by saying that I am not a programmer, nor do I play one on TV. I have found this site because I have been trying to manage our Magento instance, after pretty much left high and dry by the developers we had building this for us. I will try and explain it the best I can below:
When we apply a shopping cart coupon to the sales order, and the discount is applied to each item, a new line item total is configured by Magento. We then have a connector that takes the information from Magento's API and it is then connected to Open Bravo, which is our ERP accounting software. Open Bravo is grabbing the information as it normally does, however it doesn't see the discount information, so the order total is different in our accounting program then what Magento has. Open Bravo is teling me they need to know where the discounted amount on the sales order in Magento is on the API. It's obviously in a different spot then the standard sales order amount.
I might be able to describe a little better if you hit me with questions. Any help you could provide would be highly appreciated. Maybe we could barter for some office supplies, as that is what we sell.
Thanks!
If you are using Magento API to fetch order information from magento, then below link will be helpful to find actual value.

It seems that your ERP is storing "base_grand_total" value in stead of "grand_total".
Ok I have looked into this, and I'm not sure if anyone else has experience with it. I'm having termendous difficulties with Yelp and Google's API.
To help explain what I am trying to do here is the concept of the website. We would have to pull restaurants based on user distance, and then randomize them based on quality of restaurant based on feedback from review websites (Yelp, Google, urbanspoon, zagat, opentable, kudzu, yahoo - doesn't have to be from all), and feedback from our users (on results page for the random restaurant users can select good recommendation/bad recommendation). There’s a lot we could calculate for our formula. Things that will dictate your results will be based on if you’re at home or work. If you’re at home you will have more time to drive out to the city to grab some dinner or lunch. If you’re at work we would have to recommend restaurants nearby as lunch is typically 30 minutes to a hour. A 30 minute lunch would require take out most likely or quick service. A hour lunch break you could dine in at a local fine dining restaurant. So in a nutshell, user comes to website. Select if they're at home or work, click submit and we will have a random restaurant selected for them to go. If they don't like it they can click retry and a new restaurant can show.
The issue I am having is using the API to gather all the restaurants in the US. I know it can be done because there are similiar websites/apps that pull restaurants that are closest to you such as Ness, Alfred, and I believe there's two more but I can't remember the names.
Anyone know if this can be accomplish? As I desperately need some help. Thanks in advance!
Yelp is the API that can provide you list of restaurant as per your search, your search can be area specific, lattitude/longitude specific etc. there are number of API through which you can see the reviews of different restaurant and put some logic based on that.
I think the logic of home/work order is something that you have to integrate in your application, yelp API can provide you with the results as per your search.
Go through their documentation for further information.

It's possible to get current pricing source for a security (PRICING_SOURCE field). Is there any field that returns the list of all available pricing sources for defined security?
Thank you.
No - it's not currently possible.
Any fields (i.e. visible in FLDS in the terminal) are accessible via the API - such as the PRICING_SOURCE field in the question.
However, there is currently no functionality like the terminal commands PCS or ALLQ in the API at the moment. There is a request for this functionality with the Bloomberg programmers, and you can contact the Bbg helpdesk to have yourself added to the request to be informed when it becomes available.
Look up your pcs enablements, find the one you want to use /then lock down the eid # from the respective ctrb page. You can request eid specific prices via api.
