bbgparser aims to parse the .bbg file that Bloomberg provides you as a
response for their Data Requests and Historical Requests while using the
Bloomberg's
Hypermedia API
(HAPI).
The content of this file looks something similar to this:
START-OF-FILE
# Required headers
HEADER_KEY_1=header_value_1
HEADER_KEY_2=header_value_2
START-OF-FIELDS
FIELD1
FIELD2
END-OF-FIELDS
TIMESTARTED=Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT 2020
START-OF-DATA
ABC|10|1| | | | |
DEF|20|2| | | | |
END-OF-DATA
TIMEFINISHED=Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT 2020
END-OF-FILE
pip install bbgparser
from bbgparser.parser import parse
result = parse(content)
for k, v in results:
print(k, v)When parsing the example above, you'll get the following output:
headers {'HEADER_KEY_1': 'header_value_1', 'HEADER_KEY_2': 'header_value_2'}
fields ['FIELD1', 'FIELD2']
data [['ABC', '10', '1', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ''], ['DEF', '20', '2', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', '']]
