How to connect Bloomberg's xbbp api to "Bloomberg Anywhere"

Quantitative Finance Asked by Gorlomi on October 27, 2021

Due to COVID’s remote work situation I found myself unable to access my physical terminal so I’ve had to use bloomberg anywhere (bba), the issue I’m having is that when I try to use python’s xbbg on my mac to extract intraday tick data i get a "ConnectionError: Cannot connect to Bloomberg"

Does anyone know a way to connect python/xbbg to bba?

Alternatively could I save that level of detailed data directly from the terminal? If I could then I’d just email it to myself, but I don’t know if that’s possible

Thanks!

I guess that is really best ask on the help desk F1 F1.

You can only access BBG on a MAC via the Citrix plug-in and https://bba.bloomberg.net.

This will not establish a connection with your mac though. Hence, your local Python will not work. Only the excel API can be used like that.

Windows users can download the actual software. In this case you could use it normally.
