Have you logged into the terminal? If so and it is still not working you may need to start the COM, e.g.
start C:\blp\DAPI\bbcomm.exe
Note that the location of bbcomm.exe
may be different on your machine.

I am using bloomberg anywhere would this change anything? The terminal is up and running and I can search through it and everything but when I started it I did not see the bbcomm.exe executable file. Only citrix

I believe you need to install the actual terminal, available from https://www.bloomberg.com/professional/support/software-updates/, to get access to the API. I am unsure about this, but do not think you can use it via Bloomberg Anywhere.
That being said, you could get a definitive answer from Bloomberg help via HELP HELP
in the terminal. They won't give you support for getting pdblp
working but can advise on why your connection with blpapi
(their package) cannot connect, but I suspect it has to do with Bloomberg Anywhere.

Thank you matt - I did need to install the terminal. Also, a note for future issues there was an incompatibility issue in terms of the C++ sdk and python sdk mismatch. The files folder C:\blp\DAPI blpapi3_3_32.dll and blpapi3_64.dll files need to make sure the versions on C++ match the supported python sdk. I used python 3.7 and C++ experimental release (v3.12.3.1)
from pdblp.
Great glad to hear you resolved the issue. Yes I've come across this before and it can be annoying, particularly because the (presumably stable but not labelled) Python API hosted at https://www.bloomberg.com/professional/support/api-library/ is only compatible with the experimental C/C++ SDK. I believe they provide compatible versions if you instead download them from WAPI
within the terminal, however this is one reason to not worry about it and just use the conda
package for managing blpapi
and pdblp
available on conda-forge
, e.g.
conda install -c conda-forge pdblp
from pdblp.
