I once reversed engineered Bloomberg paid api in iOS to get articles in terminal.

2 months later. The api started miss matching article dates, breaking the articles in different segments; making it difficult to put together.

After fixing my code.

1 week later.

CAPTCHA. So I use proxy to read it.

Lastly. My IP is now CAPTCHA on my phone and laptop.

My point is Bloomberg is a crap company with a lot of gatekeeping to information.

No. That’s insane. We all know how proxies work. No sane person will pay that fee.

I will keep using https://github.com/TheSpeedX/PROXY-List

With “divide and conquer” and try and error it works good 98% of the time.
