Anyone know a good resource for using Bloomberg through MATLAB?

[EDIT: Sun May 15 13:33:11 UTC 2011 - Clarify - MKF]

I'm an intermediate MATLAB user looking for a good resource (book, website) to explain how to pull Bloomberg data through MATLAB. Anyone know of any good ones? Thanks, Peter

Bloomber api accessible through bloomberg terminals

[Peter Shapiro]

To be more clear -- what I'd like is basically a more in-depth user's guide with lots more examples of pulling more data than just price histories than what's available in the datafeed toolbox user's guide (http://www.mathworks.co.uk/help/pdf_doc/datafeed/datafeed.pdf). Thanks for any suggestions.

[Oleg Komarov]

You're not gonna get it w/o a licensed access to Bloomberg. As already commented above, the complete API is available from Bloomberg. Log in and search API.

[Peter Shapiro]

Ok, thanks. I have a Bloomberg, so I'll look tomorrow for the API.

My suggestion is that you get in touch with the MathWorks account Manager who can identify the best material for you. Maybe what you need are just some sophisticated examples and Application Engineer would use for a comprehensive demo, maybe there is even a customizable coaching program available for you.

[Peter Shapiro]

Thanks, Andreas. I'll get in touch with my account manager.

A quick search of the FEX leads to several candidates.

Thanks, Matt. These files on the file exchange will certainly be helpful once I'm up and running, but I'm looking for more comprehensive information -- everything from how to get up and running to advanced tricks.
