Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Bloomberg endpoint catalog — 6 endpoints, 9 documented request parameters, and 6 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
6 documented Bloomberg endpoints, grouped into 6 request families — Article, Author and Categories, plus 3 more.
9 request parameters are documented across those Bloomberg endpoints, 9 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
6 of the 6 Bloomberg endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 6 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Bloomberg endpoints document their error responses (400, 403, 404, 429 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
6 hosted MCP tools back the Bloomberg endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/bloomberg/articleReturns a public Bloomberg article by `url`: title, description, publication and update times, section, categories, authors, image, `is_premium` and the body `paragraphs` in order. Subscriber-only articles that Bloomberg shows as a truncated preview return `403`, an article with no body returns `503`, and non-article or non-Bloomberg URLs return `400`.
Sampled 14 Oct 2026: 11 of 11 fields returned with a value. published_at: 2026-09-20; section: “markets”.
MCP tool bloomberg_article
/bloomberg/authorReturns a Bloomberg author's profile from `url`, a canonical `https://www.bloomberg.com/authors/<id>/<slug>` address, where `<id>` is an opaque token Bloomberg assigns and cannot be guessed. The response has `name`, `title`, `bio` and recent content with title, URL, `type`, `section`, full `byline` and publication and update times.
Sampled 14 Oct 2026: 20 items, 7 fields filled in every item. published_at: 2026-08-17 to 2026-10-13; url: bloomberg.com.
MCP tool bloomberg_author
/bloomberg/categoriesLists Bloomberg's public editorial navigation categories discovered from its embedded navigation state. Each returned section slug is accepted by /bloomberg/headlines; product, account, newsletter, and sponsored-content links are excluded.
Sampled 14 Oct 2026: 29 items, 4 fields filled in every item. group: Sections (8), Market Data (7), News (5) and 2 more; name: “Deals” and 28 other values.
MCP tool bloomberg_categories
/bloomberg/headlinesReturns current Bloomberg story cards for one editorial section. `section` is required and takes a slug from the Bloomberg categories list, such as `markets`, `economics` or `politics`. Each item has a title and canonical URL, and may also carry a description, image and publication time.
Sampled 14 Oct 2026: 33 items, 2 fields filled in every item. url: bloomberg.com; title: median 62 characters.
MCP tool bloomberg_headlines

MCP tool bloomberg_news
/bloomberg/news-sitemapsLists Bloomberg's monthly news sitemaps, each with its `url` and `last_modified` date. Use them to find historical news beyond the rolling latest feed at `/bloomberg/news`. Takes no parameters.

How to scrape Bloomberg
Bloomberg's site navigation lists 29 editorial sections, grouped into news, market-data, sections, work-and-life, and media menus, and /bloomberg/categories returns them as the section values /bloomberg/headlines accepts. The rolling feed is short but dense: a 2026-09-24 pull of /bloomberg/news returned 537 stories spanning roughly four days, from Fed rate commentary to an FDA panel's vote on Grail's cancer-detection blood test. For anything older, /bloomberg/news-sitemaps lists a monthly archive index running back to January 1991. Crawlora's Bloomberg data API turns all of it, plus full articles and author profiles, into normalized JSON.
Call /bloomberg/categories for Bloomberg's live editorial navigation. On 2026-09-24 it returned 29 sections, each usable as the section parameter on /bloomberg/headlines.
Pass a category such as technology, markets, or politics to /bloomberg/headlines for that vertical's current story cards, each with the card's real headline and canonical article URL.
Call /bloomberg/news for the newest stories across every section. A 2026-09-24 pull returned 537 items covering roughly four days, September 20 through 24.
Call /bloomberg/news-sitemaps for Bloomberg's monthly public sitemap index, which lists entries back to January 1991, for discovering coverage the rolling feed no longer carries.
Pass a canonical bloomberg.com article URL to /bloomberg/article for metadata, an is_premium flag, and body paragraphs, or a bloomberg.com author URL to /bloomberg/author for that reporter's profile and recent-content feed.
Agent skills
Install a Crawlora agent skill and your agent can pull Bloomberg data as JSON through the documented API, without writing a scraper. These skills cover Bloomberg:
Researches public news from international, regional, business, technology, sports, science, and entertainment publishers through the Crawlora API —…
npx skills add github.com/Crawlora-org/crawlora-skills --skill news-media-researchFAQ
Any section /bloomberg/categories returns: 29 on 2026-09-24, drawn from Bloomberg's own navigation menus. Validation runs against that live list, so a section Bloomberg adds shows up without a code change.
Not far — a 2026-09-24 pull of /bloomberg/news covered roughly four days, from September 20 through the moment of the call, in 537 items. For anything older, discover the right month through /bloomberg/news-sitemaps instead.
To January 1991 — the earliest monthly sitemap URL present in a 2026-09-24 pull of /bloomberg/news-sitemaps, alongside every month since, each carrying its own last_modified date.
No. /bloomberg/article marks the public templates it returns with is_premium: false, as seen on a Grail FDA-panel story pulled on 2026-09-24; Bloomberg's subscriber-gated pieces sit outside what the endpoint can reach.
No. BLPAPI is a proprietary SDK tied to Bloomberg Terminal entitlements; there's no public REST API or self-serve signup, and access runs through a Terminal subscription arranged with Bloomberg sales. Crawlora's endpoints read Bloomberg's public news pages instead.
