title: Python/Bloomberg API - Dynamic Security Screen
body: <p>I work at a small investment firm which screens for certain market opportunities to approach (companies in distress) in a very manual and labor-intensive way by pulling down Bloomberg data into Excel. I want to create a Tableau-like API for the company with Python which can pull down a specific universe of CUSIPS (of all public U.S. companies) and order them based on the largest fall in their bond prices. Can someone reasonably estimate how long this will take to do using the Bloomberg/Python API. I've used Python before, but never with Bloomberg.</p>
