Wrapper for financial database APIs

HongXiongMao Refuel

Toolbox for importing data from various financial sources; for a personal project so if you are here by accident I highly advise you look elsewhere.

Installation

Bloomberg API

To make Bloomberg calls, the blpapi package must be installed; we then extend the excellent xbbg package. Unfortunately, installing of blpapi can be a pain in the backside. I can't get pyproject.toml to correctly install blpapi as a dependency.

Using pip instruction from the Bloomberg website

python -m pip install --index-url=https://bcms.bloomberg.com/pip/simple blpapi

Poetry requires 2 steps

1. Set up Bloomberg as a source,
2. installing blpapi

poetry source add --supplemental bloomberg https://bcms.bloomberg.com/pip/simple
poetry add --source bloomberg blpapi

Publishing to PyPi

I'm no pro at deploying packages to PyPi, so these are my notes for deployment of a poetry package. For reference, I followed this tutorial

Key points:

• (PyPi account is required)[https://pypi.org/manage/account/#account-emails]
• (Configure Poetry)[https://python-poetry.org/docs/repositories/#configuring-credentials]
• poetry build
• poetry publish

# configure API key
poetry config pypi-token.pypi <pypi-reallyREALLYllongKEY...>
