Static IPs for Bloomberg Data License API

The Bloomberg Data License API only accepts requests from IP addresses you register in Bloomberg's Enterprise Console.

A cloud app on Replit, Vercel, or AWS Lambda has a rotating outbound IP, so Bloomberg rejects it, either with a 401 that names your IP as not whitelisted or a connection that drops before any response.

QuotaGuard gives you two fixed IPs you register once in the Enterprise Console, so your app reaches Bloomberg reliably no matter how your platform changes its addresses underneath.

Enterprise Connectivity & Allowlisting

The Bloomberg Data License Hypermedia API enforces a customer-controlled IP allowlist. Every request to the API has to originate from an IP address registered against your Web API application in the Bloomberg Enterprise Console.

An app running on cloud infrastructure egresses from a rotating address, which the allowlist rejects, so the connection either returns a not-whitelisted error or is closed before Bloomberg returns any HTTP response.

QuotaGuard gives that app two static IPs that belong to your account. You register both once, and every request to Bloomberg then arrives from one of them.

‍Scope: this applies to the Bloomberg Data License Hypermedia API, the REST interface at api.bloomberg.com/eap. The Bloomberg Terminal, Desktop API, Server API, and B-PIPE connect over Bloomberg's own network or dedicated lines and are not proxy use cases.

Native Configuration

QuotaGuard works at the application layer through environment variables.

No change to Bloomberg, no custom infrastructure. Point your Bloomberg API calls through the proxy and they exit from your two static IPs.

Environment Variable Setup

Store your QuotaGuard connection string as an environment variable on your app's host, the same place you keep your Bloomberg credentials.

Set the standard proxy variables so your HTTP client routes through it automatically, or attach the proxy to the specific calls that reach Bloomberg so nothing else is affected.

Clients in Python, Node.js, and the Bun runtime used on Replit all support routing a request through a proxy.

Covers Both the OAuth and the Data Hosts

A Bloomberg Data License integration touches two hosts: the SSO host that issues your OAuth token and the data host that serves your content.

Both have to come from a registered IP. Routing through QuotaGuard sends both the token request and every data request out through your two static IPs, so the whole flow satisfies the allowlist with no change to how you authenticate.

Works on Any Host

The setup is the same whether your app runs on Replit, Vercel, AWS Lambda, a container platform, or your own server.

The proxy is read by your HTTP client, so there is nothing host-specific to configure and nothing that breaks when your platform changes its egress addresses.

FAQs

Technical Configuration and Setup for Bloomberg Data License APIs

Does the Bloomberg Data License API require a whitelisted IP?

Yes.

The Data License Hypermedia API only accepts requests from IP addresses registered against your Web API application in the Bloomberg Enterprise Console.

A request from an unregistered address is rejected, commonly with a 401 stating the IP is not whitelisted, or with the connection closing before any HTTP response.

How do I give my cloud app a static IP for Bloomberg with QuotaGuard?

Route your Bloomberg API calls through QuotaGuard by setting the proxy connection string as an environment variable on your app's host.

Then register your two QuotaGuard IPs in the Enterprise Console against your Web API application.

Every request to Bloomberg then arrives from one of those two fixed addresses.

Which Bloomberg products does this work for?

The Data License Hypermedia API, the REST interface at api.bloomberg.com/eap.

The Bloomberg Terminal, Desktop API, Server API, and B-PIPE connect over Bloomberg's own network or dedicated lines, so an outbound proxy does not apply to them.

Do I need to register both IPs?

Yes. QuotaGuard load-balances across the pair, so traffic can leave from either address at any time. Register both in the Enterprise Console.

Registering only one is a common cause of intermittent failures and of connections that are accepted at the TLS layer and then closed.

How do I verify my app is using the static IP?

After configuring the proxy, route a request to https://ip.quotaguard.com through it.

The response returns the IP your request came from, which should match one of the two static IPs in your QuotaGuard dashboard.

Will this keep working when my hosting platform changes its IPs?

Yes.

The static IPs are assigned to your QuotaGuard account, not to your hosting platform.

Your app connects through the same two IPs regardless of how the platform rotates its egress addresses, so your Enterprise Console registration stays valid.

Can EU teams keep their Bloomberg traffic in the EU?

Yes.

Select an EU region and your two static IPs are EU-based, in Frankfurt, Ireland, or London.

Enterprise adds dedicated EU IPs, and the Data Residency add-on locks traffic, static IPs, and connection logs to the EU from $899 per month.

Should I use Static or Shield for Bloomberg?

Static is the right starting point. Your Bloomberg calls are outbound HTTPS, which Static carries through a CONNECT tunnel without decrypting your traffic or credentials.

Choose QuotaGuard Shield when your security review also requires the connection between your app and the proxy to be encrypted, so even your proxy credentials are never sent in the clear on that hop. Both give you the same two static IPs.

We've been using QuotaGuard Static for nearly six years to provide static IP addresses to our clients so they are able to whitelist our network traffic.

The service has been hassle free, has never "not worked" or had any downtime to my knowledge. The only time we've reached out to support was during a migration from one cloud provider to another to ensure that we wouldn't cause interruptions in the service ourselves. The service we received at that time was prompt and professional.

The app's backend runs on serverless functions, and the railway data provider I was using only accepted requests from a fixed IP address. QuotaGuard gave me exactly that, and my passengers' PNR status checks kept working.

I used QuotaGuard Static IPs for ClearBerth, my train app for Indian Railways passengers. The app's backend runs on serverless functions, and the railway data provider I was using only accepted requests from a fixed IP address. QuotaGuard gave me exactly that, and my passengers' PNR status checks kept working.

It helped me because I could keep building the app without worrying about how to get a static IP. For a solo developer that is a real relief.

The best thing about QuotaGuard is the owner himself. Michael is kind, thoughtful and genuinely warm. When I wrote to say thank you, he replied personally, said it made his Sunday morning, and offered a returning customer discount for any future project. You do not often get that from a service company. I would happily use QuotaGuard again and I recommend it to any developer who needs a static IP.

QG helped us prove our pipeline and workflow with users and in the end, we would have stayed but we use AWS for all our production so we had to switch. Sorry to go but loved every minute of it!

QUOTAGUARD FTW! We used qg for spooling up a prototype that needed access to MongoDB through Heroku without having to use 0.0.0.0 in mdb whitelist. Big nono for privacy and security. QG helped as we were able to add it as a resource in Heroku and test our prototype. As the platform matured, more test users came on board and our bandwidth scaled to a point where we were no longer a prototype so we moved over to AWS which is where our production apps live. The team at QG is beyond awesome. I sent an email and I think within 24hrs or less we had solved the issues with Tim and Michael. The fact they didn't pester after signup was refreshing as well. They are Dev dev's who get it. QG helped us prove our pipeline and workflow with users and in the end, we would have stayed but we use AWS for all our production so we had to switch. Sorry to go but loved every minute of it!

I needed to configure a static IP address for my app running on Heroku, so I could connect to an external database in a more secure manner. A colleague recommended Quotaguard as an option.

The product works great - but where they really shine is the exceptional customer service. One of my background workers was sneakily polling, which didnt show on the logs, and the Quotaguard support team showed patience and knowledge helping me get to the root of the problem. Fantastic team.

Solid service. :) Does what's on the tin. They know what they're doing, and I mean that in two ways: (1) their execution of their value offering is *solid*, and (2) they appear undistracted by things that *aren't* what they're doing. A "small, sharp tools", you know?
